Why does it matter?
The earlier a child has sufficient access to sound, the more likely the
chances that they will develop age-appropriate listening, language and
speech skills. This means that they will have access to mainstream
education, which ultimately allows them to pursue a career of their
choice. Spoken language allows children and adults with hearing
loss, to develop privacy, choice and independence and in doing so become
a well-adjusted, contributing member of society.
