In reviewing medical records of a premature 10-month-old female (31 weeks gestational age) in your care, you learn that she referred bilaterally on two automated auditory brainstem response (AABR) screenings prior to discharge from the NICU, where she was a patient for 3 weeks. Her parents present documentation that shows she has since passed a transient-evoked otoacoustic emission (TEOAE) screening of each ear during a well-baby visit with her pediatrician at 3 months of age. Has this child received appropriate follow-up related to her abnormal hospital hearing screening result? If not, why not? Is additional testing warranted? If so, what type of testing?
