Hearing Screener

Join us in making a difference in the early detection of hearing loss in newborns as a Newborn Hearing Screen Technician. As a newborn hearing screen technician, you will provide hearing screens in the hospital after a baby is born. You will work on-site at one or more hospital locations to screen newborns for hearing loss. At Pediatrix, you will receive on-the-job training, including annual certification accredited by the American Academy of Audiology. Responsibilities Comply with all company and facility policies and procedures, including appropriate PPE, required vaccinations, safety protocols, orientations, and annual compliance modules. Raise any questions or concerns from hospital staff and/or leadership as appropriate to the HS Manager. Evaluate each patient for “screen readiness.” Only screen patients that are in the appropriate state to achieve a reliable result (fed, quiet, not moving/agitated, calm). Collect all necessary data and demographics for each baby. Perform the hearing screen and all related services on all eligible babies during each shift, ensuring documentation protocol is followed for every screen. Treat each screened baby and family with the care and consideration required at this important developmental milestone. Upload all screen results, billing, and state reporting by the end of each shift, ensuring the stats for each screen are complete and reconciled, unless otherwise instructed by Site Supervisor. Perform all screens efficiently, minimizing time in the patient room without sacrificing quality or patient education or satisfaction. Ensure all relevant information is provided to the responsible party for each screened baby, and the parent/guardian receives appropriate education about the necessity of the screen and next steps. Notify Site Supervisor of all missed and final refer babies. Schedule outpatient appointments for refer babies where appropriate.
