5 North Carolina Infant Diagnostic Audiologic Evaluation Sites Updated April 2013 Infant Audiologic Assessment Early detection and intervention of hearing loss are the keys to successful habilitation of infants and toddlers. Newborn hearing screening has been mandated in North Carolina since October, Based on national averages, it is expected that infants (1-2%) will be referred for infant diagnostic audiologic assessment each year in North Carolina. Infants should be referred for diagnostic audiological evaluation following a refer result on two physiologic hearing screenings (i.e. initial newborn hearing screening and one follow-up re-screening), which should occur before the age of 1 month. Hearing loss should be confirmed by three months of age. The diagnostic audiological evaluation should be completed by a pediatric audiologist. A pediatric audiologist is trained, has the technical expertise, and desire to work with the infant population. The pediatric audiologist is well-versed in developmentally appropriate test techniques, general child development, and parent counseling. The evaluation will consist of a battery of tests including child/family history,documentation of risk indicators for hearing loss, otoscopic inspection, otoacoustic emissions (OAE) assessment, auditory brainstem response (ABR) assessment, middle ear measures, and behavioral response to sound. The North Carolina Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Advisory Board strongly recommends that any audiologist accepting referrals for infant diagnostic audiologic assessment have the equipment and ability to complete the following procedures: Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR,BAER) ABR threshold (click, low and high frequency tone bursts, and bone conduction click) ABR suprathreshold to click stimuli (varied click rate and polarity) Note: If sedation is required, ABR should be conducted in a medical facility where sedation can be administered and monitored. Middle Ear Measures Tympanometry using probe tone of 1000 Hz Acoustic Reflex Threshold Otoacoustic Emissions Behavioral Response (via parent report or directobservation) Otologic Evaluation may occur at a different facility and time The audiologist must report the audiologic evaluation results to the North Carolina Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program as required by law (10A NCAC 43F.1204).
