Hearing is extremely important for children because it is an important milestone that helps them receive sound information from the environment to help them learn and develop. If your child has hearing problems, they will be referred to an audiologist. Here, they will be tested using various methods to determine the level of hearing loss.

Routine hearing tests offered to infants and young children can help detect any problems early in their development. Although serious hearing problems in early childhood are rare, early testing can ensure that hearing conditions are detected and treated promptly.

Newborn hearing testing is part of the newborn screening program that is performed to test hearing in babies after birth.

Speech, language and communication are related to how an individual communicates and understands others. Accordingly, assessing language and communication skills in children includes both expressive and receptive language. By examining these skills during regular health check-ups, children will be assessed for their overall age-appropriate development, as well as early detection of abnormalities and help children speak faster.
