Hearing loss negatively affects many aspects of a child's life: brain development is adversely affected, performance in social relationships declines, school success suffers and the child begins to feel emotionally unwell. At the İzmir Can Hastanesi pediatric audiology center, hearing loss and hearing disorders are evaluated effectively.
Your child's hearing can be tested at any age, including the newborn period. The earlier hearing loss is detected, the greater the chance of improving auditory brain development. Early diagnosis and treatment will increase the chance of improving your child's speech and communication skills.
