About Infant Hearing Loss
Infant hearing loss is surprisingly common
Of every 1,000 children born in the United States, between one and three will have a hearing loss, and 90% of all children with hearing loss are born to hearing parents.
About Infant Hearing Loss
The sense of hearing
The sense of hearing is stimulated in the womb, much the way it is after a baby is born. Babies are bathed in the sound of the rhythms and melodies of their mother’s language months before birth. And infants’ brains are brilliantly designed to master the complexities of language by sheer immersion in sound within just a few years. This is a critical time period for brain development.
