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.
Who should I contact?
The responsibility lies with the district and the independent city in which you live. There, the Frühförderstelle as well as the speech therapy counseling are available.
In addition, you can use the (pedagogical-audilogical) counselling centres of the state education centres in Braunschweig, Hildesheim, Oldenburg or Osnabrück.
