Providing the Gift of Sound

Imagine being told your beautiful new baby has already ‘failed’ something before even leaving the hospital – the newborn hearing screening. Families struggle with the emotional impact of learning their child has hearing loss and the potential life-long implications. Finding a reliable source of information, treatment and guidance can be confusing and overwhelming. The

Children's Hearing Program (CHP) at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine is a unique resource for the more than 12,000 babies born with hearing loss each year in the United States. The family-centered program, part of the University of Miami Ear Institute, offers comprehensive services for children from birth to 18 years of age. Early Detection and Intervention

One of the primary goals of the CHP is early hearing detection and intervention (EHDI). Because the critical period for language learning is from birth to age 3, early diagnosis of hearing loss is crucial. Without appropriate opportunities to learn language, children with hearing loss fall behind their hearing peers in language, cognition and social-emotional development. At the CHP, a multidisciplinary team, including otologists (ear surgeons), audiologists, speech language pathologists, educators and other healthcare professionals, work together to address the distinct needs of children. They provide services ranging from hearing evaluations, speech therapy, education, research, family support and community outreach.

Without appropriate and timely intervention, children with hearing loss are at risk for speech and language delays, poor academic performance, and increased behavioral and social difficulties. The Children’s Hearing Program aims to minimize the impact of childhood hearing loss through early identification, multidisciplinary intervention, and family-centered care.

We believe that all children deserve access to high-quality hearing healthcare and to live a life with hearing. We recognize the importance of treating the whole child and their family, and are proud to lead the nation in innovative multidisciplinary care for pediatric hearing loss.

The Children’s Hearing Program is the only center of it’s kind in the state of Florida. At the Children’s Hearing program, we believe that a child’s ability to hear should not be determined by their socioeconomic status, language, race, ethnicity, or access to insurance. Early identification and timely intervention is key to reducing the risks associated with hearing loss. 

Through your support, we can continue to broaden our reach to positively impact the lives of children living with hearing loss.
