OTHER

Provision of standard audiological + fNIRS test results

Infants with hearing loss will be tested using functional near-infrared spectroscopy (fNIRS) and a patented analysis algorithm to measure sound detection and discrimination. Their standard audiological test results will also be collected from their audiology service provider/s. Both sets of test results will be given to the participating audiologists in the experimental arm.

OTHER

Provision of standard audiological test results only

The provision of test results to the audiologist will be the same as in the experimental arm, but without the fNIRS test results included.
