What is the purpose of universal newborn hearing screening, and what has been the effect of increased use of the technique?

Children identified with congenital hearing loss prior to six months of age acquire age-appropriate language skills by thirty-six months of age. Hospitals and agencies use two simple, inexpensive tests to screen babies for hearing loss. Thus, approximately 95 percent of infants born in the United States had their hearing screened before being discharged from the hospital.
