Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a child with a hearing loss
should be directed to an audiologist for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing
loss may cause problems in language development and the educational and social
growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified by training and experience to assist in the
evaluation and rehabilitation of a child with a hearing loss.
DISCLAIMER
No hearing aid can restore normal hearing or improve a hearing impairment resulting
from organic conditions, nor can it prevent further hearing loss. You must be patient
while adjusting to your hearing aid by wearing it for gradually increasing time periods.
In most cases full benefits from the hearing aid will occur with regular use.
The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing rehabilitation and you may need
supplemental auditory training.
In most cases where there is hearing loss in both ears, binaural hearing systems (two
hearing aids) will help in hearing sounds more loudly and clearly.
