PEDIATRIC HEARING SCREENING RESULTS 

 
Date of Exam:________________________ 
 
Patient’s Name:________________________ 
 
Date of Birth:________________________ 

 

This patient's hearing was screened using otoacoustic emissions.  The 

patient 

passed

 the hearing screening in both ears, which indicates that hearing 

is adequate for normal speech and language development.  No further testing is 
recommended at this time.   

A delayed onset hearing loss can develop and this screening does not 

rule out the need for future evaluation if parental concerns regarding speech and 
language development arise or if future medical events place this child at risk for 
a hearing loss.  The Joint Committee on Infant Hearing advises that follow-up 
hearing evaluations occur if this patient has a congenital infection, or a family 
history of hearing loss.  If you have questions concerning the screening, do not 
hesitate to contact us.
