Introduction

California School hearing programs aims to target those children who have hearing disabilities. In this program, firstly children hearing disability are evaluated and the customized program is proposed to them. The hearing screening is an important step towards improving the learning quality of children.

Our hearing is the key to active participation in the world around us. Untreated hearing loss can have a significant impact on our lives every day. Hearing loss leads to a variety of responses. Living with untreated hearing loss often leads to social exclusion and a certain degree of fatigue, as we strive for better or worse to live our lives exactly as before, when we could hear perfectly. Sometimes hearing loss can affect us both morally and physically: by keeping ourselves away, we could wipe our social activities and interaction with our loved ones, resulting in a feeling of loneliness and exclusion. The sooner you treat the problem, the more likely you are to retain many of the "sound perception", decoded and stored by the brain from birth, that allow us to instantly capture a situation.

Hearing plays a significant role in child development. With the help of hearing child learns to recognize voices, imitate sounds, and therefore speak. Crumbs of rumor gives the child an opportunity to hear danger signals, navigate, interact with other children and acquire communication skills. The rumor is more than just one of the senses; hearing plays an important role in shaping the behavior and the nature of the child.

Earlier, when it was not possible to correctly diagnose a hearing loss a small child, often believed that hard of hearing child is mentally retarded. In this case, it could even send home for mentally retarded children. Fortunately, it is not done. Hearing loss has nothing to do with the mental capacity of man. However, if the early stages of hearing loss is diagnosed and without compensation, it may have a significant adverse effect on the subsequent development of the child.

Often parents more difficult to reconcile with the idea of ??hearing loss the child than the child himself. It is therefore extremely important that parents support the child, treated neutrally and sought information about the diagnosis in order to provide the child with the optimal conditions for its development (Corbeel, 2007).

It is very important to know if your Children have hearing loss. Undetected hearing loss is one of the causes of delay in language acquisition. This delay can lead to behavioral or emotional problems in school and beyond. The greater the hearing loss is detected early, it is more beneficial to the child. There are many services to help children with hearing loss. Early detection means that they can immediately receive the help they need. And it gives them an equal chance to acquire the language that children with normal hearing.
