At what age should hearing screenings be conducted?
Newborns should undergo a hearing screening before they are one month old. If a baby does not pass the initial screening, further diagnostic evaluations should be completed by three months of age. Additionally, periodic hearing screenings are recommended during routine well-child visits at ages 4, 5, 6, 8, and 10, and then annually from ages 11 to 14, 15 to 17, and 18 to 21.
