Newborns are routinely screened for hearing loss; screening typically occurs in the newborn nursery and newborn intensive care unit. Understanding the process and outcomes of initial hearing screening and ongoing early hearing detection and intervention programs (EHDI) are important roles of the newborn/neonatal intensive care (NICU) nurse. Infants that require NICU care are at higher risk of hearing loss and need close follow-up and repeat hearing testing throughout their first 3 years of life. Parents experience anxiety and worry related to potential hearing loss problems and need guidance, education, and information on infant hearing to ensure the best possible outcome for their infant.
新生儿通常会接受听力损失筛查；筛查一般在新生儿病房和新生儿重症监护病房进行。了解初始听力筛查以及持续的早期听力检测与干预项目（EHDI）的流程和结果，是新生儿/新生儿重症监护（NICU）护士的重要职责。需要入住NICU的婴儿听力损失风险更高，在其生命的前3年需要密切随访和重复听力测试。父母会因潜在的听力损失问题而感到焦虑和担忧，他们需要关于婴儿听力的指导、教育和信息，以确保其婴儿能获得尽可能好的结果。
