Newborn Hearing Screening / Aims to identify moderate, severe and profound hearing impairment in newborn babies. The programme automatically offers all parents, in England, the opportunity to have their baby's hearing tested shortly after birth. Early identification, via the programme, gives babies a better ‘life chance' of developing speech and language skills and of making the most of social and emotional interaction from an early age. The majority of babies have their hearing screen completed at The Royal Oldham Hospital before they are discharged home after birth however for those born at home or who are discharged before the screen takes place we offer community appointments around the borough of HMR & Oldham to complete the screen. / Self referral
