Out of every 1000 children born 1.4 to 5 are affected with hearing loss. Around 1.1 billion young people between the age group of 12 to 35 years are at risk of hearing loss..
The hearing loss in children is often identified during a test performed in the newborn hearing screen which is done about 24-48 hours after birth.
