First, develop a good attitude towards children’s hearing aids.
For some young children(Except baby)We need to let them know the importance of hearing aids to them in a timely manner and cultivate their respect for hearing aids, which will form a very good ideology for the future use of children.
From the attitude of parents treating hearing aids, children can intuitively feel the importance of this little thing. The expression of the parents also conveys a lot of information. So we also want to tell our parents that when we are using children who are using hearing aids. Please be patient and correct your attitude. Even if you encounter a hearing aid failure, don’t be dissatisfied or blamed in front of your child. What we need to do is to help children understand and establish a concept that the hearing aid is a trustworthy friend. . And this is also very important for the child’s future confidence.

After cultivating the child’s mentality of being responsible for their hearing aids, let’s take a look at the main points of other maintenance.

The outer casing of the hearing aid is made of hard plastic. Children should pay special attention to avoid rubbing when wearing it. If it is a back-mounted hearing aid, a protective cover can be attached to the outer casing of the machine to protect it.
