National Workshop on Mild and Unilateral Hearing Loss (2005 July 26-27 : Breckenridge, Colorado)
Description:
Proceedings of a workohop held July 26–27, 2005 at Beaver Run Resort, Breckenridge, Colorado and sponsored by Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program and Marion Downs Hearing Center.

The Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) Program at the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), in collaboration with the Marion Downs Hearing Center, convened the National Workshop on Mild and Unilateral Hearing Loss on July 26–27, 2005, in Breckenridge, Colorado. More than 50 national and international experts representing the areas of research, clinical practice, early intervention, parent and national organizations, and state and federal agencies attended the workshop. The goal was to review and discuss information that would facilitate the development of a set of recommendations related to identification, assessment, and intervention appropriate for infants and children with mild and unilateral hearing loss.

Prior to the workshop, participants were given an overview of the relevant research related to prevalence, screening, diagnostics, amplification, early intervention eligibility, clinical practice, and outcomes. The workshop began with plenary presentations addressing relevant topics, such as the scientific evidence related to the prevalence and impact of mild and unilateral hearing loss. Discussion among four breakout groups addressed screening for hearing loss, diagnostic evaluation and follow-up, hearing technology, and early intervention. Each of these groups identified issues and barriers, as well as areas for future research, which are discussed in this report. Each breakout group also began discussing both short-term and long-term recommendations. Key recommendations, once finalized, are expected to be published in 2006.
