Read the transcript
Hearing loss is a silent and invisible impairment, but it has very far-reaching effects and consequences.
A child with a hearing loss not only has a speech and language delay, but is also delayed in his emotional, social and cognitive skill development. And he also misses the opportunity of mainstreaming in society at an age-appropriate level.
So on this World Hearing Day, we should urge all stakeholders to make newborn hearing screening a mandate in our country — so that every child born is tested at birth, intervention happens at an early stage, and all the milestones are achieved by the child.
Thank you.
