Does the ASQ-3 screen for hearing status? If yes, what specific questions address hearing? If no, do you recommend a hearing screening tool or a physical screening by an audiologist?

ASQ-3 does not directly screen for hearing, only indirectly as there are often language delays when hearing difficulties are present. The developers recommend screening by an audiologist. A physician can recommend an audiologist, or if a parent is concerned about hearing, they can call the early intervention/early childhood program.

Can you provide a statement or report that says ASQ-3 is evidence-based for vision and hearing screening?

ASQ-3 is not an evidence-based vision or hearing screening tool. ASQ-3 can indicate the need for further assessment in those areas, but it does not meet the guidelines as a vision or hearing screening tool.
