"Universal newboelrn hearing screening (NHS) and the implementation of early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) programs have become the standard of care of identify and manage hearing loss in children at the earliest age. The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing has set national targets for EHDI programs to screen an infant's hearing by one month of age, comprehensively assess auditory function by three months of age, and intervene for those infants confirmed with hearing disorders by six months of age. One obstacle to meeting the objectives outlined by a one-, three-, and six- month EHDI framework is confirmation of hearing loss type (e.g., conductive, sensorineural). A procedure roptinely used to assess middle ear function and help determine hearing loss type in the neonatal and infant population is 1000 Hz tympanometry. Although not a component of NHS guidelines, anecdotal reports suggest that 1000 Hz tympanometry is combined in some NHaaS protocols to help determine the influence of middle ear function on screening results. This dissertation investigated the economic and clinical viability of adding 1000 Hz tympanometry (TYMP) to the existing NHS protocol of screening auditory brainstem respons (SABR) technology for special care neonates at Children's National Medical Center in Washington D.C. A descriptive satatistical analysis was employed to assess cost factors ssociated with resource utilization for a combined screening protocol and compare outcomes for both measurements. Results revealed that the addition of the TYMP measurement increased NHS program costs by 29% and raised the referral rate from 18% with the SABR protocol to 32% with the combined SABRand TYMP protocol. Based on results of this study, implementation of TYMP was not considered to be a viable economic and clinical application for the NHS program." -Abstract, leaf v.

Following the NIH recommendations of 1993, most U.S. hospitals now carry out Universal Newborn Hearing Screening. This new book-the first complete guide to this expanding field-provides detailed information on staff training, data collection, quality control measures and other UNHS issues. Practical and up-to-date, the book is a must for all specialists concerned with the development and management of newborn screening programs. The only book to combine specific management tips with the first-hand experience of seasoned UNHS professionals, this book should be in the collection of all audiologists, physicians, nurses and hospital administrators.

Cost analyses afford a way to demonstrate the efficacy and utility of a health intervention by establishing the conditions in which the benefits of treatment outweigh the monetary costs. To date, few have used cost analyses to demonstrate the long-term societal benefits of treatments for individuals with communication disorders. This paper seeks to fill this gap by developing an analytic model to measure the societal costs and benefits associated with early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI). We used decision tree analysis to develop a life-cycle cost analysis of three newborn hearing screening protocols (one-tier screening, two-tier screening with inpatient rescreening, and two-tier screening with outpatient rescreening) from a societal perspective. The outcome of the analysis was net benefit per infant screened in the form of employment productivity over the lifespan. The lifetime expected benefit from EHDI exceeded lifetime expected cost for all hearing screening protocols with input values held at average estimates. However, the one-tier hearing screening protocol yielded the highest net benefit per infant screened ($1,371.41), followed by two-tier inpatient hearing screening ($719.89) and two-tier outpatient screening ($306.31). While changes in loss to follow-up, language outcomes, and equipment accuracy each changed the long-term net benefit of EHDI, no single variable independently affected the balance between costs and societal benefit. Rather, sensitivity analyses revealed that the interdependent relationship among equipment accuracy, intervention outcomes, and loss to follow-up drove the costs and the benefits of EHDI. Program administrators, third-party payers, and policy-makers should consider all three of these variables a high priority when selecting protocols and strategies for quality improvement. Maximizing societal benefit requires a balance between treatment outcomes that yield employment productivity, highly accurate equipment, and low loss to follow-up.

Professionals will find a wide range of topics relevant to their work with hearing impaired children or those suspected of having an impairment in this book. A chapter on epidemiology includes the prevalence of hearing impairment and several additional chapters are devoted to the various causative factors. Detection of a hearing loss, measurement of the degree of hearing loss and identification of the site of lesion are covered together with management of any hearing loss found. Individual chapters give coverage to balance disorders, tinnitus, progressive hearing loss, auditory neuropathy, central auditory processing disorders and unilateral hearing impairment. Methods of communication, communication disorders and the psychological effects of a hearing impairment are included together with consideration of education and employment issues.
