Summit County Public Health provides in-person pediatric hearing and vision screening. Appointments for screening can be made by calling Summit County Public Health at (970) 668-9161.
Early diagnosis and appropriate intervention is key to normal development. If you are concerned about your child’s hearing or vision, we encourage you to take advantage of our free screenings or connect with an eye care or hearing provider, such as those listed below.
There are five reasons why early childhood hearing and vision screening are important:
Hearing: The AAP recommends a newborn hearing screening, and then children should be screened again at ages 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10. Additional screenings are recommended between ages 11-14, 15-17, and 18-21--or any time there is a concern.
Vision: The AAP recommends that vision screening start around age 3 and occur each year at ages 4, 5, and 6. After that, screening should occur at ages 8, 10, 12, and 15. Additional screenings are recommended anytime there is a concern.
