I personally have no problem with the simple diagnostic screening of human newborns and infants and youngsters to detect their hearing level whether they are deaf or not. I object to the language written into the Re-Authorization of Early Hearing Detection and Intervention like heavily emphasizing on “medical intervention” and “appropriate programs” which will push parents of deaf babies and youngsters to the biased information without any additional options for acquiring the sign language and educational means.
