Neonatal Hearing Loss refers to hearing impairment that occurs in newborns, affecting their ability to hear sounds. It can be caused by genetic factors, infections during pregnancy, or complications at birth. Early detection is crucial, as it can significantly impact a child's speech and language development. Screening for hearing loss is typically done shortly after birth using simple tests. If a hearing issue is identified, further evaluations and interventions, such as hearing aids or cochlear implants, may be recommended. Early support can help children with hearing loss develop communication skills and thrive in their environment.
