TENNESSEE DEPARTMENT OF HEALTH, Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI)

The Tennessee Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Program promotes the hearing screening of all infants prior to hospital discharge or by ONE month of age; audiologic evaluation by THREE months of age for infants that did not pass the hearing screening; and early intervention services by SIX months of age for infants diagnosed with hearing loss (Deaf or Hard of Hearing -DHH). The program provides families of children who are DHH the opportunity to receive parent to parent support in the communication mode chosen by the family. We provide a list of hearing providers across the state.
