Even though consent for the expanded hearing screen may have been provided, the majority of babies in the province will not have hearing loss risk factor blood spot screening as they will have passed their hearing screen. Remember that blood spot screening for hearing loss risk factors will only be performed with consent once a referral to an Infant Hearing Program audiologist is made.
Health care providers can request a copy of the hearing screening results through the Infant Hearing Program audiologist or the local IHP Lead Agency.
