Communities Helping the Hearing of Infants by Reaching Parents: The CHHIRP Navigator Trial
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating Navigator Guidance for Congenital Hearing Loss. Completed, enrolled 2,699 participants across 2 sites.
Detailed Summary
Hearing loss is the most common sensory congenital disorder and this condition is diagnosable and treatable. Children that are born with hearing loss have to undergo several hearing tests to diagnose the condition and many families are delayed in receiving this testing or never obtain the needed testing. This research employs a new method for helping children with hearing loss receive timely care by using a patient navigator, who is someone who teaches and provides emotional/social support for the families of these children. The hypothesis of this study is that a patient navigator will hasten the timing of pediatric audiological testing, improve compliance with scheduled appointments, and expand parental knowledge of pediatric hearing loss.
