WHAT IS AUDITORY IMPAIRMENT?

[/center]
Auditory impairment is the partial or total inability to hear. Also known as hearing impairment, this condition includes permanent or fluctuating hearing problems. Auditory impairment can range from slight and mild to severe and profound.

Approximately three in 1,000 infants are born with auditory impairment, making it the most common birth defect. Recognizing hearing problems early is important since unacknowledged hearing impairment can adversely affect a child’s academic performance and social development.
