Abstract

Early detection of hearing loss and rehabilitation is important because hearing impairment in childhood can strongly influence language development. With the spread of newborn hearing screening, early support for children with hearing impairment has become important, however, we also experience inadequacies during follow-up.<br> We report the current status of children with hearing impairments and improvements. The need exists to cope with the delay in the detection of children with hearing impairments and to provide psychological support to the families after newborn screening.<br> Cooperation among medical facilities, educational institutions and the government, under the leadership of otolaryngologists, is desirable.
