When is it suitable for children to wear hearing aids

If the child is suddenly “deaf”, the anxious parents must be busy asking about how to wear hearing aids so that the child can hear the voice as soon as possible and learn to speak early. Jinghao hearing aid experts said that, in fact, hearing aids should be provided early, but not “one size fits all”.

The reason is that children’s hearing loss is often divided into curable and non curable. Curable deafness, such as otitis media and cerumen embolism, can be cured only by injection of antiphlogistic needle or cleaning of ear canal. If hearing aid is hard equipped, it will cause damage to children’s hearing.

In particular, otitis media, due to the improper posture of the mother when feeding, the milk flowing into the eustachian tube, causes the child can not hear, but the baby can not speak, can not express, easily be mistaken for deafness.

Even if it is incurable deafness, it must be clearly diagnosed before wearing hearing aids. Because children’s expression ability is weak, it’s not easy to cooperate in the examination. In addition, children’s hearing sometimes has certain volatility, so one examination can’t easily draw a conclusion. Oshida hearing aid experts said that parents should take their children to do more tests and at least two related tests in regular hospitals before deciding whether to equip their children with hearing aids.

When wearing hearing aids, don’t only consider the beauty, think that children wearing older hearing aids are not good-looking. In fact, the selection of inappropriate hearing aids will affect children’s listening and pronunciation. After wearing the hearing aid for 1-2 months, it is necessary to go to the hospital or fitting center for hearing test, so as to adjust in time.

After wearing the hearing aid, the child will gradually adapt from the silent world to being able to hear the sound. Parents should insist on language training for the child, but don’t rush for success. After training, the child generally starts to learn to speak after wearing the hearing aid for 3-4 months.
