Do Deaf people agree with Newborn Hearing Screenings:-
Hearing is essential to the newborn because this is in what way they study to
communicate. Kids start hearing noises before they come in the earth. When the baby is born,
then they watch their family faces and catch them what they speak (ASL, 2020). The hearing
system of the newborn child is developing in every day. Hearing damage can disturb a child's
capability to improve speech, social skills and language. Though, with early documentation and
interference, kids with hearing loss are less likely to involve these challenges. The hearing test is
essential for every child who is recently born. In a modern-day most of the hospital check baby’s
deafness before discharge. Newborn baby hearing ability checks are using to recognize hearing
damage in infant's right after born.
Most of the deaf people are hate these hearing test because the doctors are examining the
hearing capabilities in different ways. The audiologist asks the patient to either raise their hand
or click a button when they hear a tone (Patel, Patel & Shah, 2019). This process is sometimes
very much irritating for deaf people because they cannot recognize what the sound is. The
children appeared this test again and again, but unfortunately, they fail this test every time. This
continuous process is very much irritating for deaf children and their family. When their family
know that their children are suffering from the hearing problem, then they discuss this with the
doctor.
If the children are studying American Sign Language, then they easily enhance their
learning capabilities and improve there thinking. With the support of ASL, the student who is
suffering from hearing difficulties they identify the value of these topics (ASL, 2020). They also
classify the subject which is articulating by the tutor. That is the moral reason the deaf people do
not agree with the hearing test for the newborn child.
