NCBDDD will collect data from
pediatric audiologists who provide services to children age 5 and
younger. The overall purpose of this study is to continue to
identify and quantify the audiology facility resources in the U.S.
Facility data will be compiled into a distribution map for CDC-EHDI
team and state EHDI coordinators to visualize the geographic
distribution of infants who are lost to follow up in relationship
to the pediatric audiology clinic distribution. 2 additional
questions have been included to specifically find out what
telepractice system a clinic has in place.

This is a revised ICR. The
survey includes 2 additional questions to specifically find out
what telepractice system an audiology clinic has in place. The
original ICR estimated that 1500 respondents would complete the
survey; 892 actually completed the survey. Of the 892 respondents,
it is now estimated that 800 respondents will review their prior
answers, 400 will review the purpose statement, and 200 new
respondents will complete the revised survey.
