Objective: To assess the efficacy of a newborn hearing screening program in an urban hospital 24 years after a longitudinal study identified failings in its program and recommended solutions.
Methods: A hospital-specific, Pennsylvania database was queried to determine rates of in-hospital testing, referral, and diagnosis for Temple University Hospital (TUH), and to compare these with reporting sites statewide. At TUH, interviews with newborn hearing screeners and audiologists were conducted to identify barriers to care.
