How is your child's hearing? Have you ever had it tested besides their newborn hearing test in the hospital?
You may or may not have concerns, but how do you really know for sure if your child can actually hear everything properly? Many children who have a hearing loss, are not identified until much later because many children find ways to compensate for their hearing loss and it goes unnoticed. And just because your child's hearing was fine a birth, that doesn't mean it is guaranteed to be ok when they're older. Ear infections and glue ear are common causes for hearing loss that may happen as your child gets older.
Good hearing is really important for everyone, for both children and adults. Difficulties hearing can affect a child's speech and language development and their ability to learn at school as well as interact with their friends in the playground. Imagine if you can't hear what others are saying when you're in a group conversation, you would feel left out or maybe even embarrassed.
It's really easy and simple to get your child's hearing assessed. It only takes 30 minutes and in this video, Susan (Audiologist) and Alyssa (6 years old) will show you what a hearing test involves and how easy it is to give yourself some peace of mind or to ensure your child's hearing loss can be dealt with as soon as possible.
