Infant hearing loss means that a baby cannot hear sounds as expected, either in one or both ears, from birth or early infancy. In everyday life, common signs include a baby not responding to voices, missing sounds, or not developing speech and language skills at the expected pace.
Every child deserves the chance to connect with the world around them: to hear laughter in the classroom, music wherever they are, and the voices of the people they love.

It’s about confidence, independence, inclusion, and the freedom to dream big.
