This multi-media training package discusses the importance of periodic, physiologic hearing screening for infants and toddlers. It provides practical guidance for health care providers on how Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE) hearing screening can be conducted during well-child visits. Materials include an instructional guide, instructional videos, and a hearing screening protocol and documentation form.

This video, Part One in a series of three, explains the importance of periodic screening for children 0 - 3 years of age and provides a brief overview of the auditory system and how OAE screening is done.

This video, Part Two in a series of three, introduces the OAE screening equipment and provides a detailed, step-by-step demonstration for screeners on how to conduct OAE screening.

This video, Part Three of three, outlines an appropriate OAE screening and follow-up protocol to use with young children in health care settings.

This document outlines some of the most important issues that need to be addressed in implementing and operating a successful early identification of hearing loss program for newborns. References and suggestions for additional information are given for each step.

This short video, the first in a series of four, explains the importance of periodic screening for children 0 - 3 years of age, provides an overview of the auditory system and how OAE screening is done, and discusses the screener's role.

This short video, the second in a series of four, acquaints the screener with OAE screening equipment and provides a detailed, step-by-step demonstration of how the OAE screening procedure is conducted.

This short video, the third in a series of four, outlines an appropriate OAE screening and follow-up protocol to use with young children and reviews keys to effective screening.  

This short video, the fourth in a series of four, covers OAE equipment care and maintenance and provides additional helpful hints for effective screening.

This video provides a short introduction for parents about why the hospital is doing newborn hearing screening. The video is also available in Spanish.

This training video reviews procedures for successful transient-evoked otoacoustic emission module (TEOAE) testing with particular emphasis on probe fit. The video demonstrates how to recognize poor probe fit and demonstrates the consequences.

This video provides a brief introduction for professionals on why periodic screening is important and how to use OAE technology to screen children birth-to-three years of age.

This website provides a variety of materials that can be used in making presentations about early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) programs. Materials include PowerPoint presentations and information about how to obtain videos that may be useful in training meetings, conferences, and public awareness activities. Any of the PowerPoint presentations can be downloaded and used "as is" or adapted to meet the needs of specific localities. Please note that some of the statistics referred to in these presentations may be out of date (particularly with the older presentations).

The purpose of this online booklet is to assist in the selection and design of an Information Management System (IMS) that best suits the requirements of specific early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI) programs.
