The Connecticut Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program strives to assure all babies are screened at birth, and that those with a hearing loss are diagnosed early and enrolled in an Early Intervention program, if eligible.

Mission Statement

The goal of universal newborn hearing screening is to provide early hearing detection and intervention in an effort to prevent speech, language and other delays and support children in reaching their maximum potential.
