Ears are the doorway to the brain
Hearing loss in children
Sometimes a child will not respond to sound because they are not paying attention. However, inconsistent responses could be a sign of an inability to hear properly. Take note of any changes in your child’s behavior and look for clues that might indicate hearing difficulty.
From ear infections to underlying genetic causes, hearing loss can be caused by a number of factors. Some types of hearing loss are temporary and some are permanent, like sensorineural hearing loss. In this case, hearing aids or cochlear implants can help. Learn more to ensure your child gets the right treatment at the right time.
