title: [Early diagnosis important in hearing loss in children].
abstract: Owing to the identification of pre-, peri- and post-natal risk factors for the development of hearing loss or impairment, diagnosis is now possible at 10-14 months of age and rehabilitative measures can be implemented. It is vital that hearing impairment is discovered at an early stage, as language development occurs predominantly before the age of three. Several methods have been evolved for testing hearing in infants.
