[영문]Objectives. Newborn hearing screening programs have been implementedby all 50 states and most U.S. territories to detect hearing loss in infants andprevent delays in speech, language, and social and emotional development. Tomonitor progress toward national goals, the Centers for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC) collects data from state and territorial programs. This articlesummarizes findings from the CDC Early Hearing Detection and Intervention(EHDI) Hearing Screening and Follow-up Survey (HSFS) and provides a summaryof recent efforts to identify infants with hearing loss in the U.S.Methods. The HSFS was sent to representatives of U.S. EHDI programs togather aggregate screening, diagnostic, intervention, and demographic datafor 2005 and 2006. We analyzed these data to evaluate progress towardnational goals.Results. In 2005 and 2006, more than 90% of infants were screened for hearingloss. Of these infants, 2% in both years did not pass their final screening.Out of those not passing the final screening, approximately two-thirds were notdocumented as having a diagnostic finding. In both years, the reason reportedfor the majority of infants was loss to follow-up/loss to documentation (LFU/LTD). Although the majority of infants with permanent hearing loss were receivingintervention, more than 30% were classified as LFU/LTD and could not bedocumented as receiving intervention services.Conclusions. The HSFS enables the collection of more complete data thathighlight the progress in screening infants for hearing loss. However, dataindicate improvements are needed to reduce LFU/LTD and meet the nationalbenchmarks
