I think that screening for infants is perfectly fine. I don't see why anyone would have a problem with it. Wouldn't it be 100 times better if you find out at birth that your child is deaf. Then you are able to start signing to them right away and find out information about how to get them involved in the deaf community. It would be nice to start making connections right away and for your family to begin to get used to signing and the idea of having a family member that is deaf. I think that screening children would be a great idea.
We screen for other things, why not for the loss of hearing. Screening children for any kind of physical or mental disability is part of the process when your child is born. I think that making sure they do not have any hearing loss is very acceptable.
