Your child may have gone through a hearing screening as a newborn, but sometimes hearing loss can develop later. If you suspect that there's an issue with their hearing, ask your family doctor for a professional hearing evaluation. #Hearing Widex Canada
1/3 - How can you support those experiencing hearing loss? 1. Encourage treatment. If they feel comfortable discussing their hearing issues with you, take things further & offer to accompany them to their hearing assessment and regular check-ins. #Hearing Widex Canada
2/3 Be patient, especially as they learn how to manage their issue. If they get hearing aids, help them experiment with the settings in different environments. Also, educate yourself! The more you know, the better you can be a part of their process. #Hearing Widex Canada
3/3 You can practice conscious speaking, aiming to talk slower and to sound as clear as possible. Tip: avoid hosting social gatherings in loud environments and try for places with fewer people and intervals of soft or no music to allow for clearer dialogues. #Hearing Widex Canada
Hearing loss in children is not uncommon. So, if they don't respond when you ask for help to set the table, it may not just be selective hearing but the beginning of hearing loss. If you think something’s not right, seek a professional hearing evaluation. . #Hearing Widex Canada
