Hearing assessment is really an important task especially in newborns and children. A multi disciplinary approach is required for the early detection and management of hearing impairment in this group, as it is an extremely difficult situation to rehabilitate. Early identification and correction of deafness allows a child to lead a normal life instead of being stamped as a ‘handicapped’, and becoming a burden on the society. Hence awareness among all health care providers including ENT surgeons, Audiologists, Neonatologists, Pediatricians, Neurologists, General practitioners and Paramedical staff is essential.
