The American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP) recommends that all newborns undergo hearing screening before they leave the hospital. Subsequent check-ups should be conducted at the following intervals:
At 6 months At 12 months Annually from ages 3 to 6 Every 2-3 years for school-aged children
Additional check-ups may be necessary if there are concerns about a child's hearing or if they have risk factors for hearing loss, such as a family history of hearing impairment or recurrent ear infections.
