According to the study researchers, teenagers who suffer from congenital hearing loss (deafness) have better reading skills if their disease was detected to 9 months from birth.
The study authors have studied the development of children with congenital severe hearing loss, which in early childhood has been diagnosed in London in 1990.
The researchers assessed the reading level of the adolescents and compared them with children who have not been diagnosed in the newborn period.
Colin Kennedy (Colin Kennedy), a teacher of neurology and pediatrics at the University, commented on the study: "Our previous work has shown that children who underwent hearing screening in the neonatal period, on average, were better able to language and reading in the age of eight . Now we are ready to show that screening programs can benefit the same in children and teens. "
"We believe that the early advantage in reading - this is the merit of early detection of hearing problems, helping children better understand the required material, compared with their peers who were later diagnosed with congenital hearing loss."
"Screening all newborns for hearing loss at birth allows families to get the necessary information that is needed to support the development of their child, and bring benefits and practical value in the primary, secondary and further education."
