Maine Newborn Hearing Program - Important Updates

The Risk Factors for Hearing Loss and Testing Recommendations document has been updated and provides risk factors for hearing loss, timelines for full diagnostic testing and best practice protocol for the full diagnostic testing. It is our goal that this document provides basic guidelines to better ensure children with hearing loss are identified as early as possible. The list of Category A – Maine Pediatric Audiology Facilities – infants to 6 months has also been updated. Both documents, along with other resources, can be found on their website:

Choose the “For Providers” on the list on the left side of our home page to access this document.
