Proposed Project
Early Hearing Detection and
Intervention–Pediatric Audiology Links
to Service (EHDI–PALS) Survey (OMB

Disabilities (NCBDDD), Centers for
Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Background and Brief Description
The Division of Human Development
and Disability, located within NCBDDD,
promotes the health of babies, children,
and adults, with a focus on preventing
birth defects and developmental
disabilities and optimizing the health
outcomes of those with disabilities. In
2014, 2015, and 2016, NCBDDD
sponsored the Early Hearing Detection
and Intervention–Pediatric Audiology
Links to Service (EHDI–PALS) Survey.
NCBDDD requests OMB approval to
continue conducting the EHDI–PALS
Survey in 2017, 2018, and 2019. The
survey is designed to facilitate timely
referrals for hearing screening,
diagnostic, and follow-up care services
for infants and children ages 0–5 years.
Early interventions for infants and
children with hearing loss can prevent
or mitigate delays in speech, language,
and cognitive development. Since
passage of the Early Hearing Detection
and Intervention (EHDI) Act in 2010,
98% of newborn infants are now
screened for hearing loss prior to
hospital discharge. Many states have
additional legislation that requires
health care providers to report cases of
childhood hearing loss to state-based
EHDI programs. Key recommendations
are based on the ‘‘1–3–6’’ framework:
Screening of all infants for hearing loss
by 1 month of age, ensuring diagnostic
audiologic evaluation by 3 months of
age for those who do not pass the
screening, and enrollment in early
intervention services by 6 months of age
for those identified with hearing loss.
However, many infants and children do
not receive the recommended hearing
tests and follow-up services. In 2013,
the national average loss to follow-up/
loss to documentation rate was 32%, but
varied widely from state to state and
within states.
High rates of loss to follow-up or loss
to documentation remain areas of
critical concern for state EHDI programs.
Reasons for loss to follow-up or
documentation include lack of
convenient audiology clinics
(geographic distribution of clinics), lack
of providers with the specialized
training needed to diagnose or treat
infants and children ages 0–5 (capacity),
consumers’ difficulty finding the right
provider (information), providers’ lack
of awareness of or compliance with state
reporting requirements (compliance),
and other factors.
The annual EHDI–PALS Survey was
developed to help states verify the
distribution of their pediatric audiology
resources, quantify their true follow-up
capacity, and support efforts to meet
diagnostic and follow-up goals defined
by the 1–3–6 framework. Survey
respondents are audiologists and
audiology facility managers who submit
information online through a secure,
password protected site managed by the
University of Maine. Survey findings
have been made available to state EHDI
program staff through specialized
reports useful for program planning and
evaluation. In addition, information has
been made available to state EHDI staff
and the public through the EHDI–PALS
Web site, which provides a searchable
directory of facilities and practices that
offer pediatric audiology services. Since
2014, state EHDI program personnel
accessed the collected data over 3,000
times and consumers visited the EHDI–
PALS site for facility information over
140,000 times. This high usage rate
lends strong support for survey
continuation.
Participation will be requested in two
ways. Both the American SpeechLanguage-Hearing Association and the
American Academy of Audiology are
members of the EHDI–PALS workgroup
and will continue to disseminate
announcements through association enewsletters and e-announcements
requesting the participation of their
members. CDC estimates that this will
result in 200 new responses per year.
The estimated burden for a new
respondent is 9 minutes. Respondents
who have participated in the EHDI–
PALS survey in previous years will
receive a brief email from the University
of Maine asking them to review the
information on file for them. It is
estimated that approximately 800
audiologists will do so. It takes
approximately 2 minutes per person to
review and update previously submitted
data. Finally, it is estimated that an
additional 400 audiologists will read
through the purpose statement located
on page one of the survey and
discontinue their participation. The
estimated burden per response for a
dropout is 1 minute. The revised
method of calculating burden results in
a reduction in total estimated
annualized burden hours.
Participation is voluntary and there
are no costs to respondents other than
their time. The total estimated
annualized burden hours are 64.
CDC requests approval from OMB to
continue the EHDI–PALS survey for
three years. There are no changes to the
online survey instrument. Survey
findings will continue to be used for
state-based program improvement and
to assist consumers in locating facilities
that offer the services they need. In
addition, CDC’s EHDI program will use
findings to provide targeted technical
assistance to state-based EHDI programs.
