Sound Scouts Hearing Screening app
The earlier we know if a child has a hearing impairment, the earlier they can receive the support needed. Sound Scouts is the evidence-based government funded hearing check app that takes children & adults (aged 4+) through 3 simple games that check their hearing & listening abilities. An immediate report is generated providing information on the status of their hearing health and recommended next steps if a potential loss is detected.
This free service (along with support and training) is available to all early learning services to support children as they transition to school.
