About

The Maryland Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (MD EHDI) Program aims to ensure that every baby born in Maryland receives the newborn hearing screening and that hearing status is identified at the earliest age possible, preferably by 3 months of age.
 
The MD EHDI Program coordinates with providers statewide to help ensure that babies who are identified as deaf or hard of hearing receive early intervention services, preferably by 6 months of age.​
