Resource Description
Having worked at a state level for an early intervention program, I repeatedly heard intervention providers lament about how to provide appropriate services to families of newly diagnosed infants with unilateral hearing loss. According to EHDI data from the Centers for Disease Control, 20%-30% of all infants diagnosed with hearing loss have unilateral hearing loss. The result is hundreds of families of babies with unilateral hearing loss who are seeking assistance to understand what the hearing loss may mean to their child’s future and to receive direction on how they can best influence their child’s success. Due to the increased in identification of infants with unilateral hearing loss, early intervention service providers who have long experience in serving children who are bilaterally deaf or hard of hearing have struggled with how to appropriately serve these children and their families as their needs are not the same as children with hearing loss in both ears. I’m very pleased to present these materials as they are unique in their attention to providing information specifically for families of children with unilateral hearing loss. Karen Anderson, Director
