Nearly sixty per cent cases of hearing loss in children are preventable with early intervention, says former Australian cricket sensation Brett Lee, emphasising the need to make the "new-born screen test" mandatory in India.
"Early intervention is the most important thing for a kid to have back normal hearing. There is an urgent need of making the 'new-born screen test' for hearing mandatory as well as for educating parents of children with hearing loss so that they make the best intervention at the earliest," Lee said yesterday.
