Experts agree that undiagnosed hearing loss can result in delayed socialization and social skills, as well as a lifelong disadvantage in linguistic achievement. To recognize the achievements of hospitals who participate in newborn hearing screenings, on April 5,2005, the first "Universal Newborn Hearing Screening Day" for the state of Illinois will be marked in an event in Chicago.
