NCBDDD will collect data from pediatric audiologists who provide services to children age 5 and younger. The overall purpose of this study is to identify and quantify the audiology facility resources in the U.S. Facility data will be compiled into a distribution map for CDC-EHDI team and state EHDI coordinators to visualize the geographic distribution of infants who are lost to follow up in relationship to the pediatric audiology clinic distribution. Since April 2010, the EHDI-PALS workgroup has sought consensus on the loss to follow up/loss to documentation issues facing EHDI programs.
