How to use hearing aids correctly

When a child is equipped with a hearing aid, the parents can’t let it go. At the beginning, they should patiently help the child to be familiar with the hearing aid and adapt to the sound of the hearing aid.

People with normal hearing live in a noisy environment every day, such as the birdsong in the woods, the sound of vehicles on the road, the sound of collisions in the family, and so on. They are used to it and turn a deaf ear. But deaf children have hearing loss. There is silence around them. Now we use hearing aids to make him enter the world of sound. At this time, everything is ringing. We are not used to him. We will get upset for a while. Parents should understand this. Parents should follow the steps below to help the deaf children to be familiar with the use of hearing aids.

(L) take the child to a quiet room and tell him something he is familiar with. He can also use the familiar sound toys to make it sound in different places of the room, and guide the children to have a sense of intuition and orientation to the sound.

(2) take the child to the kitchen, and let him listen to the noise of various environments such as cutting vegetables, cooking, touching chopsticks, running water, etc. To make him feel like something other than speech.

(3) take him to a quiet room to listen to the radio or television, and let him listen to social news or other programs the children like.

(4) bring a hearing aid when eating, and parents can introduce things on the table to him slowly.

(5) invite other children to talk with him and let them communicate with him in a harmonious way, so as to win the children’s praise for him.

(6) take your child to the street to play or shop. There will be all kinds of noisy environments here. Observe your child’s response.

After the above six steps and one or two weeks of adaptation, children can get used to using hearing aids, which can be said that the selection of hearing aids is generally successful. If you continue to be indifferent to the sound, you should first check whether the hearing aid works normally? Whether the volume is turned on enough? Whether the battery should be replaced? Otherwise, the hearing aid may not be properly selected. However, it should be pointed out that it is not surprising that it is difficult to talk with children, because the children did not have the language foundation before, and now they do not understand the meaning of other people’s speech, so parents should not be impatient. Remember, wearing a hearing aid is only the first step for a child to learn!

Of course, if the child is found to have a fear or pain response to the voice during the trial period, it must be noticed by the parents. It is likely that the pain threshold and comfortable range of children’s hearing have not been mastered before hearing aids are selected. For those hearing aids that do not have the function of “automatic gain control” or “automatic peak clipping”, the gain must be adjusted in advance to avoid reaching the hearing pain threshold of the deaf children when shouting loudly, so as to eliminate the possible pain, because the bad stimulation of this sound can even make the deaf children cry, or make it difficult to mobilize him to wear the hearing aids again.

Finally, parents of deaf children should be reminded: don’t wait for expensive new hearing aids. Training as soon as possible is the first important thing.
