If a hearing issue is detected, the pediatric audiologist will discuss the findings with the parents and recommend appropriate interventions. These may include:
Hearing Aids: Small electronic devices that amplify sound, making it easier for the child to hear. Cochlear Implants: Surgically implanted devices that provide a sense of sound to individuals with severe hearing loss. Speech and Language Therapy: Therapy to help the child develop effective communication skills. Educational Support: Tailored support in the school environment to accommodate the child's hearing needs.
Early intervention is key to helping children with hearing loss lead fulfilling and successful lives.
