Early intervention for the hearing impaired


Do you suspect hearing loss in your child? There are special hearing testing procedures for all ages (including infants!).

Seek competent medical and specialist advice! Additional advice and help can be obtained from one of the competent authorities.

If your child actually has a significant hearing problem, he or she can receive early intervention for the hearing impaired in addition to medical aids.

You can register directly. A bank transfer is not required.

Bring the yellow booklet of U-check-ups and the doctor's and therapy reports about your child, as well as the results of a hearing check by an otolaryngologist.

There are no fees.

Deadlines may have to be observed. Please contact the competent authority.
