The American Cochlear Implant (ACI) Alliance is pleased to present our position statement for universal screening for cytomegalovirus (cCMV). As 1 in every 200 US newborns has cCMV and delayed identification precludes timely intervention, the ACI Alliance Board of Directors urged the development and publication of a comprehensive statement to support policy efforts for screening at the state and national levels and highlight the importance of medical intervention.
