Newborn Hearing screening
One or two babies in every 1000 are born with a hearing loss. Most of these babies will be born into families where no-one else has a hearing loss. Finding out early is important for your baby's development. This means you can get more support and information to help you and your baby.
Hearing screening tells us which babies may have a hearing loss. The screening test shows us which babies need more tests to decide if they have a hearing loss.
Screening does not detect all hearing loss or prevent future hearing difficulties. Please click on the link below for further information.
