THE TRI-REGIONAL INFANT HEARING PROGRAM is a voluntary program funded by the Ontario Ministry of Children and Youth Services.

The program provides:

• hearing screening of all infants in hospital or in the family's local community
• audiology assessments of infants who receive a refer result from screening in order to rule out or identify a hearing loss
• monitoring of infants who may be at risk for hearing loss
• support to families of infants that have an identified hearing loss
• communication programming for infants and toddlers who have permanent hearing loss including instruction in American Sign language and Auditory Verbal Therapy or both
• assistive devices if required
