Risk Factors for Late On-Set or Progressive Hearing Loss
In 1969 the Joint Committee on Infant Hearing (JCIH) was founded to study the need for screening programs to identify infants with hearing loss as early as possible. Four years later the JCIH introduced the concept of ‘risk factors’ for hearing loss in infants. The first JCIH Position Statement was released in 1973. Over the next 46 years the statement has been revised 7 times culminating in the current 2019 JCIH Position Statement.
This presentation will highlight the changes, regarding risk factors, between the 2007 and 2019 JCIH position statement mainly focusing on; the reason for and altered groupings of risk factors, the new recommended timelines for diagnostic follow-up, and tools that different states use to improve risk factor monitoring for infants between the ages of 0-3. The presentation will also briefly review the most common barriers to risk factor monitoring in Early Hearing Detection and Intervention programs across the country.
