Deaf Child - Early Detection and Management
Journal Title: Bengal Journal of Otolaryngology and Head Neck Surgery - Year 2014, Vol 22, Issue 1
Abstract
A child learns to speak by hearing and interpreting. Speaking language will not develop if the child is deaf. Deafness will persist if it is not detected early. If deafness detected early and treated or hearing is provided with hearing aid or by cochlear implant, then language can develop.We know that, one or two of every thousands of live born infants suffer from deafness, Pre lingual deafness is very difficult to detect early and treat. If we detect deafness early, we can develop language to the child, because some deafness is curable. So early detection of deafness is necessary.
