Health Care Program For Children with Special Needs
Newborn Hearing Screening

As many as 200 babies are born in Colorado every year with a hearing loss.  It is important that every newborn baby’s hearing be tested before they leave the hospital. Identifying hearing problems and taking action as early as possible gives every baby the best possible chance to develop normally. For more information about Hearing Screening or hearing loss, contact the HCP office nearest to you or read more through the resource links provided on this page.
