Congressional Hearing Health Caucus
The Congressional Hearing Health Caucus (Caucus), a caucus of the United States Congress, was created in 2001〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://saveourdeafschools.org/chhc.pdf )〕 in cooperation with the National Campaign for Hearing Health, a public education and advocacy project run by the Deafness Research Foundation (now called (the Hearing Health Foundation ).) The focus of the Congressional Hearing Health Caucus includes several aims that promote hearing health and encourage universal newborn hearing health screenings for all Americans. Those most at risk for hearing-related concerns are newborns, infants, and the elderly, particularly if such issues are left undetected. Therefore, a primary goal of the Congressional Hearing Health Caucus is to see that auditory abilities of all Americans are screened, including universal hearing screening for newborns. One of the co-founders and co-chairmen of the Caucus was former Congress Member James T. Walsh〔(James Walsh' biography ), ''Project Vote Smart'', Philipsburg, MT: Project Vote Smart, 2014, Retrieved 13 February 2014.〕 (R-NY). The Director of the National Campaign for Hearing Health at the time of launch of the CHHC, was Elizabeth Thorp, who had herself been born with unilateral deafness not discovered until she was eight years old.〔http://www.washingtonian.com/washingtonvoices/advice/reasons-to-get-your-hearing-checked-this-may.php〕
Current co-chairs of the Committee are Tom Latham (R-IA) and Carolyn McCarthy (D-NY).〔(Congressional Hearing Health Caucus: Background ), ''American Speech-Language-Hearing Association'', 2013, Retrieved 19 January 2014.〕〔(NCRA supports Congressional Hearing Health Caucus ), ''National Court Reporters Association'', Vienna, VA, 23 February 2012, Retrieved 19 January 2014.〕
