Knowledge
Vision and Hearing Screening
Hearing is initially evaluated in the newborn period.
Between birth and age 3, children are evaluated by asking the parent if they have concerns about vision or hearing.

Vision screening using a chart begins at age 3 years.
Hearing evaluation through audiometry begins at age 4 years.
Children who cannot cooperate with testing by age 4 are more likely to have developmental delays. (For these children, you
may need to refer for formal audiology and/or ophthalmology for screening, especially if developmental delays are
suspected.)
