Infant Hearing Screening
Service Details
Description:
Hearing screenings are provided for infants under the age of 3 months with the goal of identifying permanent hearing loss as early as possible. It is critical to detect and intervene early for a child's language development.
If a child does not pass the screening, additional testing is available to determine whether a permanent hearing loss exists. If so, follow-up support is provided to connect families to resources that will help their child's ability to communicate..
