Girl who sued over alleged delay in hearing loss diagnosis settles action for €135k
It was claimed there was an alleged failure to provide adequate or consistent auditory input during the child’s optimal time for development before May 2107, when a hearing loss was diagnosed.
A nine-year-old girl whose hearing loss diagnosis was allegedly delayed by a number of years has settled her High Court action for €135,000.
Emily McDonald, her counsel Hugh O’Keeffe SC told the court, was not diagnosed with a hearing loss until she was over three years of age and recalled for audiological assessment as part of the HSE Look Back Review.
