I work very closely with my team of audiologists, hearing and speech therapists at our Speech – Hearing & Cochlear implant Centres. We have set up programmes for neonatal (newborn) hearing screening at Apollo Hospital and other medical centres, which is paramount for the early detection of hearing impairment in babies.
