Documentation and Tracking: Essential Elements
for Implementing Evidence-based Hearing Screening
and Follow-up Practices with Children
Birth to Five Years of Age
Presented by staff from the Early Childhood Hearing Outreach
(ECHO) Initiative, Utah State University

Implementing evidence-based hearing screening and follow-up practices for children birth to five years of age is dependent on more than using the recommended screening equipment for the population being served. The outcomes of hearing screenings must be clearly documented, and all children not passing the screening on both ears need to be tracked through the completion of a recommended follow-up protocol. The best hearing screening efforts are only as good as a program’s ability to monitor and support children after the initial screening, to ensure that those who need it receive timely and appropriate evaluation and treatment.
Topics addressed during the webinar include:
