Hearing loss is the most common developmental disorder identifiable at birth and its prevalence increases throughout school‐age due to the additions of late‐onset, late identified and acquired hearing loss. Under identification and lack of appropriate management of hearing loss in children has broad effects and impact on educational, cognitive and social development. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics For all children, regular surveillance of developmental milestones, auditory skills, parental concerns, and middle-ear status should be performed in the medical home. On today’s Resident Files episode we are going to walk through the hearing screening schedule and risk indicators with Jordan Yoeli, MD, PGY-3 pediatrics resident at Children's Hospital Colorado and the University of Colorado School of Medicine.
