How Having a Baby Is Changing Under Trump
Apr 17, 2025 12:33 PM CT

Senior Correspondent
Mere hours after birth, most newborns are tested for two things: whether they have signs of hearing loss and whether they have any of a range of rare conditions that could severely impact their health and their lives.
If they test positive for either, they qualify for a number of interventions that can dramatically improve their prospects over their lifetime.
But both tests could soon undergo dramatic changes because of drastic cutbacks at federal health agencies that public-health advocates say imperil both programs. These cutbacks could mean that certain states will not test for and respond to conditions that currently set services into motion in every state.
“There are a lot of worthy causes that fall by the wayside when there isn’t some kind of centralized government support,” says Karl White, director of the National Center for Hearing Assessment and Management at Utah State University.
The dismantling of a critical division
The Early Hearing Detection and Intervention program (EHDI) is run partially out of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). The program helps states coordinate newborn hearing screening and respond to infants who fail the hearing tests. It falls under the CDC’s Disability and Health Promotion branch.But this entire branch was eliminated in the April 1 cutbacks at CDC that slashed about 2,400 employees. EHDI had eight full-time workers and one fellow; all but one were eliminated in the cutbacks, according to current and former staff.
EHDI worked with states to analyze data to help communities follow up with families so that babies born deaf or hard of hearing get support as early as possible.
States apply for funding grants under EHDI. They submitted the applications to the CDC in January, and now the applications are sitting there with no one left to review them, White says. “There are real questions about what’s going to happen,” he says, “and whether that money is going to be available
Newborn hearing screenings are a true public-health success story. Hospitals did not start screening children for hearing loss at birth until the 1990s; it wasn’t until 2000 that screening was nearly universal across states. Children’s lives can be changed dramatically by early screening and response. In the 1970s and 1980s, children weren’t diagnosed with profound hearing loss until they were 2 or 3 years old, which hampered their ability to read and write, White says. Now, children are screened at birth, and early interventions can help them meet more of these milestones.
Thanks in part to federal funding for newborn hearing screening, about 98% of newborns are screened for hearing loss before they leave the hospital, according to the CDC. This won’t change immediately, says Donna Smiley, the chief staff officer for audiology at the American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
That’s because some EHDI funding is still administered through the Health Services Resources Administration, an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) that was less affected by cuts.
But the HRSA funding relies on EHDI data, and it will be impossible to know where problems lie and where to send money. Eventually, state programs that rely on CDC data analysis will dissolve, Smiley says. The CDC especially helps with follow-ups when children are found to be deaf or hard of hearing.
“If babies are going to be screened but there’s not any follow-up, that’s going to be a wasted screening,” says Smiley.
White agrees that without CDC’s EHDI funding, some state hearing screening programs could collapse. According to a survey conducted by his organization in early 2024, 18 states said that their EHDI programs would be discontinued if federal money disappeared. About 37 states said the absence of federal funding “would have a major negative impact.” Though some hearing testing may continue through hospitals, there would be a gap in the coordinated response and interventions for affected babies.
“The thing I am most worried about is that money that Congress has specifically appropriated to support and expand and improve EHDI is in danger of not being allocated,” he says. In 2022, Congress passed and President Biden signed the Early Hearing Detection and Intervention Act that reauthorized EHDI program funding until 2027. It sought to improve and expand EHDI programs.
“If it can happen to USAID and FEMA—if contracts to Columbia and Harvard and other places can just be canceled—I think there’s reason to be concerned,” White says.

This is why I hate the media so goddamned much. Joe Biden was trying to warn all of you, but you just wanted to bully him out of the race because he had a bad debate. He told you, correctly, what would happen, and you called him senile.
None of you are forgivable. https://t.co/TLCB11ISho

the white far left are also white supremacists; take a cursory look at their running battles with even non-Black POC who occupy the center-left
the nasty condescension across racial/ethnic lines is appalling and falls just under the energy of tossing a verified ethnic slur

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent reveals he really has no idea how many empty shelves American consumers can expect as a result of Trump’s tariffs, saying “I assume (retailers) preordered.” America is cooked.

Based on my convo with .@reesetheone1 I have come to the conclusion that ages 45-64 (35% of electorate) is one reason why Kamala lost. 30-44 and 65+ voted consistent with 2020. Gen Z men vote like their dads.
45-64 shift:
2024 Trump won 55-44% (+10)
2020 Trump won 50-49% (+1) https://t.co/K5vPHvCP3m

VA GOP event no longer happening after Youngkin’s attempt to oust Lt Gov nominee fails
The Virginia Republican Party was thrown into turmoil Friday after news broke that Gov. Glenn Youngkin had asked GOP lieutenant governor nominee John Reid to withdraw from the race after an old social media account attributed to Reid showed pictures of naked men.
The Republican ticket — finalized without primary contests — had been set to launch its joint campaign tour across the commonwealth. Those plans appear to be changing, however.
