In simple words: This therapy helps babies and young children who were born deaf or lost their hearing very early in life learn to hear. The therapist uses special activities to teach the child to recognize sounds and understand speech.

This code represents auditory training or therapy primarily for pediatric patients with hearing impairment occurring during or shortly after birth, before acquiring language and speech. The hearing loss may be due to trauma, disease, or genetic factors. The provider uses various techniques to teach the patient how to hear, starting with basic sound identification and progressing to complex speech recognition.

Example 1: A 1-year-old child born with profound hearing loss receives auditory rehabilitation therapy to learn to identify sounds and associate them with objects or actions., A 3-year-old child with a cochlear implant receives therapy to improve speech recognition and understanding in noisy environments., A 2-year-old child with a perilingual hearing loss due to meningitis receives therapy to develop auditory awareness and localization skills.

Documentation should include the etiology of the hearing loss, the child's developmental stage, treatment goals, specific techniques used, and the child's progress.
