Watch Now to Discover How AEA Hearing Screenings are Helping Children

Heartland AEA provides hearing screenings for infants, young children and school-age learners, all at no cost to families. These screenings help to identify children who may need further testing for hearing loss or additional support in the classroom. Early detection of hearing loss can help ensure that appropriate services and supports are put in place to meet the unique needs of each child. This can make a significant difference in their learning, development and social-emotional well-being.
