" Hearing is crucial for a child's development, learning and growth in the society, but being a hidden sense in itself, hearing impairment goes unnoticed in a majority of students. I believe that with early testing, diagnosis and correction if required, many students would be positively impacted and would learn and perform better at school. I have experienced the above myself and am certain that more such students would be happy to get recognized and supported for the good in them. "
