Abstract
Hearing loss is one of the most common significant congenital abnormalities present at birth. If undetected, it will impair speech, language and cognitive development. Studies and surveys conducted in several countries showed that around 0.5 to 5 in every 1000 neonates have congenital hearing loss.
Congenital hearing loss is a hidden disability which often detected after causing serious consequences on the acquisition and development of language abilities (Paolo et al.,Pisa, 2011). The critical period for language and speech development is generally within the first three years of life. Children identified with hearing loss between birth and six months of age and who received immediate interventions showed significantly higher cognitive, language and social development (Yoshinaga-Itano,1995).
