The majority of infants with hearing loss are born to parents with normal hearing. This is why universal newborn hearing screening is so important—it catches hearing loss that might otherwise go undetected.

Q: What is Newborn Hearing Screening?

A: Newborn hearing screening is a simple, painless test done within the first few days after birth to detect any hearing issues early on. Early identification is essential for a child's development in speech, language, and social skills. In the Philippines, Republic Act 9709 mandates that all newborns undergo this screening to ensure timely diagnosis and intervention for hearing loss.
