Infant Hearing Screening
Service Details
Description:
The Infant Hearing Program provides hearing screening for all Ontario newborns in hospital or community settings. Hearing screenings are provided for infants under the age of 2 months, but ideally younger than 1 month of age. Hearing screening identifies infants who should have more detailed testing for hearing loss as early as possible. The technology used for the hearing screen is safe and will not hurt your baby. Early detection and intervention is critical for a child’s language development.
