Vision and hearing services
Routine hearing and eye tests are offered to babies and children in their early years to find any problems early on in their development, and to find any significant hearing or sight loss.
This helps to reduce any impact that this could have on their speech and language development, social skills or education.
All children and young people should continue to have their vision and hearing checked regularly, or if you notice any sudden changes.
These tests can be carried out by services in the community that are open to everyone, but if you have any concerns, speak to your GP or health visitor.
Children and young people with vision and hearing conditions may need to be referred to specialist services.
