Health checkup is critical for early diagnosis and treatment for any individual
In formative years , sensory checks are critical – Eye and Hearing
Children cannot perform in school if they don’t have right input – i.e. normal hearing.
In USA , about 8 % school going children have been noted to have hearing impairment
Our research in India with @1000 children also indicates 6-8% children needs symptoms of hearing impairment and need further screening

It will result into:

Lack of concentration and poor grades
Inability to articulate sounds and words resulting into poor speech and language development
behavioural issues like frustration and anxiety

With early diagnosis and treatment all this can be prevented.

The human ear consists of three parts- the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear.
The ear canal of the outer ear is separated from the air-filled tympanic cavity of the middle ear by the eardrum.
The middle ear contains the three small bones, the ossicles, which are involved in the transmission of sound .
The inner ear contains the otolith organs- the utricle and saccule, and the semicircular canals belonging to the vestibular system, as well as the cochlea of the auditory system.

It is a mobile app that does the hearing assessment
Non-Invasive and quick test which can be done in < 2 mins
HearWell is effective screening measure for moderate or severe degrees of hearing loss
It can identify - Normal inner ear function vs Hearing loss due to conductive or sensorineural issues

In summary –

Hearing is critical for Child’s learning process
Early screening and adequate diagnosis helps to delay further speech and language development
