Is it mandatory to do hearing assessment of my child ?
Hearing loss is hidden . There are high chances that hearing loss of lesser degree are not noticeable but will affect speech and language development of child. According to JCIH, newborn hearing screening is as important as visual screening. This include screening every newly born baby in hospital before discharge. This helps to identify babies who are at potential risk at the earliest age. If you wish to conduct hearing testing please contact audiologist near you or call us.

In case if baby has hearing loss ,we can do management of hearing loss as early as 6 months of age , there are definite chances to develop normal language.
