2. If doesn't pass, referral to an audiologist for evaluation
with recommendations for follow-up provided to parents by audiologist

state, and national resources.

2. Understand the meaning of spoken language.

Profoundly deaf children can learn to read with no auditory component. But tend to be below
grade level.

education. 37% of those with minimal hearing loss will fail at least one grade level.

children's learning.

EHDI Correct Ans-Early Hearing Detection and Intervention
ASHA Benchmarks for early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) Correct Ans-1. All
infants should have newborn hearing screening.
2. Those who do not pass should have Doctor and Audiological evaluations at age of 3 months to
determine if there is a hearing loss.
3. All infants with diagnosis of permanent hearing loss should receive intervention asap and by
the age of 6 months at the latest.
Challenges to benchmarks:
1. Medically fragile
2. Parents' style of coping
3. Family dynamics/cultural differences
4. Limitations in resources ie finances, communication skills support systems, and spiritual
beliefs.
Minimal hearing losses in school-aged children Correct Ans-1. Many children have unilateral
hearing loss.
2. Most function well face to face.
3. However, a threshold reduction of only 10 dB lowers perception of loudness by half. A 20 dB
causes a student to hear only 1/4th of what the teacher says.
