Beeps pulsed through my ears, I gave a thumbs up for every beep I heard, and before I knew it, the test was over. I walked out, without giving any thought to the events that had just occurred. What was there to consider? Soon I was back in class, learning how to spell “light” and “right”. Which I had apparently been spelling wrong up until that moment. At that time, that was the worst of my troubles, but that would only last so long.
My mom picked me up that day, as usual. We went home. I went to my picture books, and read, as per usual. It was all fine and dandy, reading about

    The purpose of this paper is to revisit previous literature addressing universal newborn hearing screening (UNHS), review current practices of UNHS, evaluate the factors relating to UNHS, and identify areas for improvement. The importance of identifying hearing loss before 3 months, and receiving intervention by 6 months of age, relates to children’s speech, language, academic, and social-emotional development.
