Australian Screening Program to Test Hearing Loss in Children
Macquarie research has confirmed the wide-reaching benefits of discovering hearing issues as early as possible. More than half a million school children will have their hearing tested in the next five years as part of a free national screening program announced recently. This program, Sound Scouts has proved to demonstrate cost effectiveness and has thus received committed government funding. The Daily was joined this morning by the Sound Scouts program founder, Carolyn Mee.
