Outpatient Hearing Screen (or Rescreen)

If your baby did not pass, or was referred, on the newborn hearing screening, in one or both ears while in the hospital, staff should have told you the importance of  scheduling a ‘rescreen’. Sometimes this will be with hearing screeners, and sometimes it will be with a pediatric audiologist.  Your newborn hearing screening team will let you know which one you should see.

Hospitals and birthing centers sometimes make the rescreen appointment for you, before you go home, and others will ask you to make it yourself.  Be sure you have the information you need before you leave, so you can call and set up the appointment, and/or you know when to bring your baby back for this important rescreen.

​

If you are not sure where to go, or who to call, for your rescreen, contact your hospital or birthing center.
