Welcome to Newborn Hearing Screening Wales
Early detection of hearing loss leads to improved outcomes in speech and language development and in general the well being of the child and family.
Our aim therefore is to identify babies with hearing impairment which, without additional help and support, is of sufficient severity to potentially cause a disability. This will enable the earlier provision of family friendly support services, which will help the child to develop better language and communication skills.
