Detailed Description
Parents of children who fail infant hearing screening at birth at the University of Kentucky or other hospitals in the area that are receiving follow up diagnostic testing at UK Audiology or the Commission for Children with Special Health Care Needs will be enrolled in the first part of the study and randomized into either a patient navigator group or the standard practice group. We will compare the failure to follow-up for testing rates between groups. Of those enrolled subjects, the age of the children when they obtain diagnostic testing will be assessed and compared between the patient navigator group and the standard practice group. This arm will further quantify the effect of the navigator on diagnostic testing timing.
The second arm strives to continue and build upon the first assessment by evaluating hearing follow up in children up to six months of age who are diagnosed with hearing loss. Parents of children born at the University of Kentucky and at other hospitals who are following up as outpatients at UK who are diagnosed with hearing loss will be approached for enrollment. Parents of children in this arm of the study that did not participate in Arm 1 or did participate in Arm 1 but that were randomized to the control group are randomized from the age of enrollment until one year old to a patient navigator group or standard practice group. Parents of children that participated in Arm 1 that were randomized to patient navigation that enroll in Arm 2 will not be randomized and will continue to receive patient navigation. This group of subjects will be assessed to find what follow up is conducted once the child is diagnosed with hearing loss. As in the first arm, the navigator group will have regular phone follow ups with the patient navigator and the standard practice group will not have contact. Both groups will be given or mailed questionnaires, asking them about where they obtained services for the child with regard to hearing follow up and intervention. This will assess the effect of a navigator on parental education and support, timing of diagnostic services, and implementation of interventions with regard to pediatric hearing loss.

Description
Inclusion Criteria (Arm 1):
- Parents of children who are born at University of Kentucky Medical Center in the postpartum ward whose children are born after 34 weeks gestation and fail hearing screening in one or both ears
- Parents whose children are receiving follow up testing (due to referral after mandatory newborn hearing screening) at UK Audiology or the Commission for Children with Special Health Care Needs
- Parents who are willing to be contacted by study coordinators and/or navigator to monitor progress and testing outcomes
- Parents who are able to speak English or Spanish as the patient navigator will be speaking one of these languages and this will be the primary means of communication over the phone.
Exclusion Criteria (Arm 1):
- Parents of newborns who are hospitalized past 30 days after birth or who are born prior to 34 weeks gestation (as this may inherently delay diagnostic work-up)
- Children and parents live outside Kentucky or who will be moving out of Kentucky within the first year of life (they will not be able to be followed closely at our institution)
- Parents of wards of the state and cases of adoption will be excluded
Inclusion Criteria (Arm 2):
- Children who are 6 months old or less and have been diagnosed with hearing loss in one or both ears through two separate ABR tests.
- Parents who are willing to be contacted by study coordinators and/or navigator to monitor progress and testing outcomes
- Parents who are able to speak English or Spanish as the patient navigator will be speaking one of these languages and this will be the primary means of communication over the phone.
Exclusion Criteria (Arm 2):
- Parents of newborns who are hospitalized past 30 days after birth or who are born prior to 34 weeks gestation (as this may inherently delay diagnostic work-up)
- Children and parents live outside Kentucky or who will be moving out of Kentucky within the first year of life (they will not be able to be followed closely at our institution)
- Parents of wards of the state and cases of adoption will be excluded

Arms and Interventions
Participant Group / Arm |
Intervention / Treatment |
---|---|
Active Comparator: Standard scheduling and follow-up
The subjects will have access to discuss any questions or concerns with our office or audiology staff, as is the standard of care practice.
They will not be contacted by study personnel or the patient navigator after discharge from the hospital and before the initial diagnostic test or before and after any subsequent auditory brainstem response test.
The patients may contact and be contacted by our clinic staff regarding scheduling or rescheduling of the hearing test and any other follow up, as is standard practice.

Experimental: Patient Navigator Group
The patient navigator group will involve regular phone contact with the patient navigator.
The patient navigator will contact the participant by phone to conduct an interview and provide education on infant hearing and diagnostic hearing services.
The timing of the subject child's appointment and the instructions of the outpatient auditory brainstem response test are discussed.

In the second part of the study, further educational tools are given to parent(s) and discussion of additional follow up mechanisms, including community hearing services and types of interventions for pediatric hearing loss is imparted.
