Universal Newborn Hearing Screening

Universal Newborn Hearing Screening is a quick and safe process used to test the hearing ability of babies shortly after birth, typically before they leave the hospital. The screening involves gentle placement of small devices near the baby's ears, which detect sounds or measure the response of the baby's auditory system. The goal is to identify any potential hearing loss early, allowing for prompt intervention and support. Early detection is crucial for language development and overall growth, as it helps ensure that children receive the resources they need for effective communication and learning as they grow.
