When is the best time for deaf children to wear hearing aids

For deaf children, we emphasize early intervention, including early detection, early diagnosis, early treatment, early amplification and early training.

When the head of the family finds out that the child’s hearing is poor, he / she should make diagnosis and treatment to determine the nature of the child’s hearing loss. If it is conductive deafness, early treatment, hearing can be restored, if it is sensorineural deafness, hearing is mostly not easy to restore, only through hearing aids to solve the problem of sound amplification.

The early wearing of hearing aids refers to the selection of appropriate hearing aids for deaf children before the age of half a year or about three months after deafness. After 12 years old, most of them can’t get speech rehabilitation. This is because there is a best time for people to learn language. The most vigorous time for people to acquire language is when they are 1-3 years old. Before the age of 7, the best time is when the plasticity of the brain is significantly reduced when they are 7-12 years old. After the age of 12, they are gradually approaching adults.

Hearing development starts from birth. Three months ago, it was mostly controlled by subcortical center. After three months, hearing developed rapidly, and meaningful auditory behaviors gradually formed and developed. People all know that five-year-old children can learn the local language after three to five months as long as they follow their aunt or other children to learn to speak in kindergarten. It can be seen that the plasticity of language development in childhood is very large, which is almost impossible for adults.

Therefore, the purpose of using hearing aids for language training as early as possible is to make use of the functions of the remaining hair cells of the inner ear as early as possible, and to develop the functions of brain intelligence and auditory speech center as early as possible. Only the auditory center and speech center of the brain as well as the joint area of the two can get speech stimulation as early as possible and establish connections, can we master the ability and skills of listening and speaking.
