A specialist in the area of hearing has diagnosed a hearing problem for my child. What do I do now?

There are different kinds of hearing problems. If your child’s medical or audiological professional indicated that your child’s hearing problem was in the MIDDLE EAR, such as an ear infection, you may want to read our article on Conductive Hearing Loss.

If your child's medical or audiological professional has indicated that your child's hearing problem was in the INNER EAR or was SENSORINEURAL or was NERVE RELATED, you may enroll in our FREE Correspondence Education program for parents. There are many terms that may be new to you. Obtain a glossary of terms from this web site. You can also compare the different types of hearing aids by looking at our paper, Hearing Aids (pdf).
