Early Intervention Matters: If your child has been identified with hearing loss, speech-language therapy should begin as soon as possible — ideally within days to weeks of diagnosis. The first 3 years of life are the critical window for spoken language development, and delays in intervention lead to delays in communication.
Signs & Symptoms of
Hearing Loss
Recognising these signs early can make a significant difference. If your child shows several of these, seek a professional evaluation promptly.
Does not startle to loud sounds
Newborns should startle (Moro reflex) in response to loud, sudden sounds. Absence of this response warrants immediate evaluation.
Not turning toward sounds
By 6 months, babies should turn toward the source of familiar sounds and voices.
Limited babbling
Hearing loss reduces the auditory feedback loop that drives babbling and early sound development.
Delayed or unclear speech
Because children learn speech by hearing it, hearing loss directly causes speech and language delays.
Asking for repetition frequently
Older children frequently saying "what?" or "huh?", turning up the TV, or misunderstanding instructions.
Failed newborn hearing screen
A referral from the newborn hearing screening programme is the most common route to diagnosis of congenital hearing loss.
Our Approach to
Hearing Loss
A structured, compassionate process from first assessment to lasting outcomes — personalised to every child.
Speech-Language Baseline Assessment
Evaluation of current speech, language, listening, and communication skills to establish intervention priorities.
Auditory Skills Development
Systematic development of listening skills — detection, discrimination, identification, and comprehension of sounds and speech.
Spoken Language Therapy
Building vocabulary, sentence structure, and conversational skills through listening and speaking.
Speech Clarity Therapy
Targeting specific speech sounds that are difficult for children with hearing loss due to high-frequency hearing loss patterns.
Post-Device Habilitation
Intensive therapy following fitting of hearing aids or cochlear implant activation to maximise auditory learning.
Family & Caregiver Training
Teaching optimal listening environments, auditory learning strategies, and how to support communication at home and school.
