The Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital (KATH) in Kumasi has started a programme to screen all newborn babies to identify those with hearing impairment for early treatment as part of activities to mark this year’s World Hearing Day.
The Head of the Audiology Unit of KATH, Dr Mrs Akosua Prempeh, said the programme was deliberately planned to help save newborns from developing hearing impairment diseases, which usually manifested when they were between the ages of two and three. In Ghana, on the average, hearing loss is identified when the child is about two to three years old and is unable to speak well. This happens because hearing loss is an invisible handicap which often goes unnoticed until delays in speech and language development becomes apparent, she added.
