May is Better Hearing Month!
Amazing Hearing Fact
The human cochlea — the tiny spiral shaped organ responsible for hearing — reaches its characteristic coiled shape by approximately 10 weeks of pregnancy… long before birth.
By around 20–24 weeks gestation, babies may already begin responding to sound in the womb.
Hearing development starts earlier than most people realize, which is one reason early hearing screening and intervention are so important.
Healthy hearing supports speech, learning, communication, and brain development.
