Screening is offered by Primary Care Alberta through the Early Hearing Detection & Intervention (EHDI) Program.
All babies born or living in Alberta are offered screening for permanent hearing loss, within 90 days of birth. Newborn hearing screening is free.
The EHDI Program aims to identify permanent congenital hearing loss (PCHL) as early as possible and provide timely intervention.
