What's Possible with Early Identification of Hearing Loss

Do you know the status of your baby’s hearing? The newborn hearing screening (NHS) makes it possible to identify hearing loss early for little ones. If your baby is identified with hearing loss, the possibilities are endless for them to learn to listen, talk, read, and thrive. The great news is that with early identification and hearing technology, children with hearing loss won’t miss a moment of access to sound to build their brain for language and learning.
In this video, you’ll hear from Dr. Carol Flexer, a Certified Auditory-Verbal Therapist (LSLS Cert. AVT) and a licensed audiologist. She is going to explain what you need to know about your baby’s hearing, especially in these critical early days, weeks, and months to ensure their little brain is accessing all of the sounds of speech to help their brain grow. Watch this video to learn more about your child’s hearing and brain development, and why early identification is important.
