Care Of Hearing
Advanced screening tests, audiometry, and specialized interventions are used to ensure newborns and children with congenital deafness receive timely and effective care.
About Congenital Deafness
Congenital Deafness refers to hearing loss that is present at birth. It can occur due to genetic factors, complications during pregnancy, or infections that affect the baby’s hearing before or shortly after birth. Early detection and intervention are crucial because hearing is essential for speech, language, cognitive development, and social interaction. Even mild or moderate hearing loss can delay language development and learning in children. Through early diagnosis and appropriate management, including hearing aids, cochlear implants, and auditory rehabilitation, children can achieve optimal hearing, speech, and communication skills.
What is Congenital Deafness?
Early detection through newborn hearing screening is critical because untreated hearing loss can impact speech, language, cognitive development, and social skills.
