What happens if my baby has a hearing loss?

After all of your baby's tests have been done the Audiologist will explain the results to you and may give you one of these information leaflets:

The Audiologist will arrange for you to meet with one of the Specialist Doctors who support babies and families with a hearing loss.

You can also contact the National Deaf Children’s Society. The society has a helpline for parents and families who would like information about hearing tests and any type of childhood hearing loss.
