    Importance of Hearing Screening

    Sound is one important tool through which a child learns to communicate and interact with his or her surrounding world. Since deaf or hard of hearing children have different experiences with this tool than other children, they must learn different ways of communicating. Early recognition of the issue and intervention are vital for developing strong communication skills, which help deaf or hard of hearing children throughout their lives. Thanks to newborn screening, many affected babies receive early diagnoses so they and their families can get help early and keep their development on track!

    Good luck to all applicants!
