The importance of hearing screening
Parents can choose to have their baby’s hearing screened by our team.
Hearing screening will be performed within the first few days of a baby being born. It is important we find hearing problems early as they affect a baby’s development.
After the screening, our team can provide support and information about hearing problems.
Will I have to bring my baby to a clinic?
We will perform the hearing screening on your baby in hospital – on the postnatal ward or in the neonatal unit – if we can.
We run clinics for babies who were born at home and for any baby we did not manage to screen while they were in hospital.
