Any hearing loss affects a child’s language development. Guam EHDI works to assure that all babies born on Guam receive:
- A hearing screening by 1 month of age.
- A Diagnostic Audiological Evaluation (DAE) by 3 months of age.
- And a baby with hearing loss is enrolled in early intervention services by 6 months of age.
If you are worried about your baby’s hearing, talk with your baby’s doctor, or contact Guam Early Intervention System (GEIS) at (671) 300-5776 or via email at geis@gdoe.net.
For more information on the Newborn Hearing Screening Program please call (671) 735-2466.
