๐ถ Early Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) ๐
Did you know that every newborn should have a hearing screening before leaving the hospital?
The EHDI program helps ensure that babies with hearing loss are identified within the first month of life and receive appropriate intervention by 6 months of age.
Unfortunately, in my experience as an Audiologist, many children are only suspected of having hearing loss around age 3, when they are not speaking like their peers.
If your little one wasnโt tested at birth, do not wait until communication delays appear. Visit your nearest Audiologist or public hospital and get their hearing checked early ๐
