Will A Hearing Aid Help My Child?

Most children with a sensorineural hearing loss are fitted with hearing aids right away. Only through ongoing and consistent testing can your child’s audiologist help you find the best aids and the correct setting for your child’s loss. Hearing aids do not cure a hearing loss. In most cases, children with hearing losses can learn to detect and discriminate the sounds of spoken language through hearing aids. This will help your child learn to communicate through speech and be aware of the sounds around him. If hearing aids have been recommended for your child, it is important that the aids are worn on a full-time basis, as soon as possible!
