Babies are being screened at birth for hearing loss in most (not all) provinces of Canada today. When identified early and given access to hearing technology and Auditory-Verbal Therapy the majority of children born with hearing loss today will learn to talk.

At one time hearing tests were conducted routinely at school but this is no longer the case. Undetected hearing loss can result in misdiagnosis and delays in language, speech and learning.
