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.
