Since the early 1990s, this campus has been involved in world-leading practice in the early detection of congenital hearing loss\u00a0and research into outcomes of\u00a0children with hearing loss. In this Grand Round we will describe the journey of a family whose newborn baby is diagnosed with congenital hearing loss, and the interventions to promote this baby\u2019s health,\u00a0development and\u00a0outcomes.
