Özet

Objective: Hearing loss is one of the most common congenital anomalies, occuring in approximately 1-3 infants per 1000. Early identification and intervention can prevent severe linguistic, educational and psychosocial repercussions. Intervention before 6 months of age allows a child with impaired hearing to develop normal speech and language. The objective of this study was to investigate the incidence of hearing loss in neonates and determine the mean of intervention in children with hearing loss.
