Sound Scouts

Did you know that 1 in 10 children suffer from hearing loss? That's why our school is excited to introduce the Sound Scouts Program, a fun and innovative way to check your child's hearing.

Sound Scouts is a clinically proven app that tests hearing in children aged 4 years and older. It's designed as an interactive game that kids enjoy playing, while secretly conducting a comprehensive hearing check. The best part? It can be done in any quiet place, making it perfect for use in school.

Why is hearing so important for our little ones?

1. Language Development: Children learn to speak by hearing and imitating sounds around them.
2. Learning: Good hearing is crucial for classroom learning and following instructions.
3. Social Skills: Hearing plays a vital role in developing social and communication abilities.

The World Health Organisation recommends that all children have their hearing screened before they start school. With Sound Scouts, we can easily achieve this goal.

If the app detects any hearing issues, it provides immediate results and recommendations for follow-up care. This early detection can make a world of difference in a child's educational and social development.
