Hearing Loss in Children

Normal hearing is essential for the social and intellectual development of infants and young children. How Hearing Loss in Children manifests itself is that they may have difficulty learning to communicate because they cannot hear all or part of the sounds around them. See our Signs and Symptoms page for more detail.

Thus, the sooner a child has his/her hearing tested the sooner the problem can be identified and remedied and start to live a normal life.
