Abstract: |
Since about 1/2 of newborns with congenital hearing loss are from NICU nurseries, performing diagnostic evaluations prior to hospital discharge is often advantageous for families. However, completing diagnostic assessments in the NICU environment poses numerous challenges for audiologists. This session will outline some of the key challenges and highlight some strategies for completing diagnostic assessments prior to hospital discharge for babies in the NICU. |
