Newborn Hearing Screens
The sooner hearing loss is detected, the sooner your baby can receive early interventions and resources that can help him or her learn and better communicate later in life. For this reason, it is recommended that every newborn be screened for hearing loss shortly after birth so that treatment is more effective. However, if your newborn did not receive a hearing screen, we can screen anyone of any age for hearing loss here at Natural Birth Services.
