Hearing Impairment Kit - Arabic Translation
The Department has led the development of an information kit: When a baby’s hearing loss is diagnosed - Fact Sheets for families.
The kit has been designed in collaboration with parents, service providers and other key stakeholders, in response to issues raised by families about access to quality information at the time of their baby or young infant’s diagnosed hearing impairment.
