Hearing losses in children are disabling and frequently unrecognized. Children with persistent uncorrected hearing impairment are at high risk for speech and language delays, behavioural problems, and socialization and learning difficulties. Although most hearing impairment in childhood is conductive in type. about 1 in 1000 Australian children have significant sensorineural hearing losses (SNHL) of mild to profound degree.
