Aneurin Bevan University Health Board offers a hearing screen for children in primary school. This screen will take place in Our Lady of the Angels RC Primary School on Thursday, 27th November 2025.
Hearing tests carried out soon after birth can help identify most babies with significant hearing loss. Testing later in childhood can pick up any problems that have been missed or have been slowly getting worse.
It's important to identify hearing problems because they can affect your child's speech and language development, social skills and education.
Further information about the School Hearing Screen Service is available on the audiology page of the Aneurin Bevan University Health Board website.
The hearing screener will need to check we have the correct contact details for your child with the school, in order to complete the screen.
If you do not wish your child to have the hearing screen, please do not hesitate to contact us.
Children with programmable shunts should not be screened as there is a risk of the screening equipment affecting the shunt. It is essential you contact the School Hearing Screen Service to inform us if your child has a shunt fitted.
