County Public Schools provide hearing screenings to students enrolled in grades
K, 3rd, 7th, and 10th.
School-age hearing screenings are an integral tool in identifying
children with hearing loss who were not identified at birth, lost to
follow-up, or who developed hearing loss later. Without mandated routine
hearing screenings in schools, students with unilateral, less severe or
late onset hearing loss may not be identified or will be misdiagnosed
and managed.www.asha.org
If your child does not pass his/her hearing screening a referral letter will be sent to the address provided upon enrollment. If you receive a referral letter please schedule a follow up appointment with your child's Primary Care Provider.
