What should children do if they don’t want to wear hearing aids

When a child first finds out that there is a problem with his / her hearing, he / she should go to the hospital in time for a comprehensive hearing test and take active intervention measures, so as not to miss the critical period of his / her language learning. Unless his / her hearing loss is very severe, he / she can wear a suitable hearing aid, but if he / she wears it at the beginning, he / she will feel uncomfortable and refuse to wear it due to foreign body feeling. How can deaf children adapt to hearing aids more quickly?

First of all, parents should make it clear that the purpose of wearing hearing aids is not to affect the development of speech because of hearing problems, so as to lay a foundation for children’s future study and life. Therefore, parents should not cry and refuse to wear because of their children, but love their children and give up hearing aids. Don’t beat and scold or intimidate children, which will only backfire.

Because children are curious about things and like to imitate them, parents can first wear hearing aids for children to see, and show a happy and happy appearance, and let children touch the hearing aids with their hands to reduce their fear. If possible, it’s better to let children of the same age see their children wearing hearing aids, so that they will be more receptive. When wearing hearing aids for the first time, parents should use language, expression and action to praise him, such as: “how beautiful the baby is!” and “how good the baby is!” to make him feel satisfied.

Moreover, let him listen to some soft sounds in a quiet environment, such as a beautiful piece of light music, so as to establish a concept in his mind that “after wearing the hearing aid, you can hear a very good sound.” Do not put him in a noisy environment. The sound he hears is loud and disorderly. In this way, he will feel that what he hears after wearing the hearing aid is an uncomfortable sound, resulting in resistance and refusing to wear the hearing aid.

In addition, we play games with our children. We prepare some drums, loudspeakers, brass bells, musical instruments, etc. at home, so that the children can hear a certain sound and draw it, and give them a certain reward if they are right. In this way, the children will be interested. Using the above methods, most children will gradually accept and adapt to hearing aids after a period of time, and they will realize the role of hearing aids and help them. After a long time, children will ask for hearing aids.
