Hearing Lose
Hearing, vision and speech are highly important markers of a child’s knowledge, social interactive skills and dynamic capacities. Children grab information and communicate with people around them by imitating the voices and sounds they hear. Therefore, an undiagnosed or untreated hearing loss can immensely damage the overall child development in numerous aspects, ultimately resulting in issues like delayed speech, vocabulary and issues in social interactions.
