In respect of young people generally, the witnesses talked about the monitoring of babies after they are born. To help parents understand that issues might arise at a later stage, however, are they being given enough information in order that they can identify at an early stage where a child at the age of, say, three or four might have a hearing difficulty that might not have been obvious on day one but which might at that point begin to be noticeable? Are there certain signs parents should watch out for in that scenario?
