How can parents and caregivers support children with hearing loss?
Parents and caregivers play a vital role in supporting children with hearing loss. They can:
Ensure consistent use of assistive devices such as hearing aids or cochlear implants. Engage in early and ongoing communication and language activities. Advocate for appropriate educational services and support. Participate in support groups and seek resources for additional guidance.
In conclusion, pediatric hearing screenings are fundamental in identifying and addressing hearing impairments early. With timely detection and intervention, children with hearing loss can achieve their full potential in communication, learning, and socialization.
