NHS Newborn hearing screening program was launched to cover the whole of England in April 2005 and this gives an opportunity for all parents to have their newborn baby’s hearing screened at birth, leading to early diagnosis of hearing loss and any associated medical conditions, giving a chance to make an informed choice for their child, intervene early leading to better hearing, speech and educational outcome.
