Successful outcomes for children wearing hearing aids
A written article in the online Hearing Health and Technology Matters, explains how research has confirmed that the more a child wears hearing aids the better the outcome.
This is not a surprise. Several years ago it was reported that children who wore hearing aids 10 or more hours/day performed significantly better than kids who did not wear hearing aids 10 or more hours a day. This is the Gold Standard.
There are three factors that affect outcomes:
- The Child
- The Family
- The School
But if the child with hearing loss is going to do well the parents have to find time to spend with their children in a constructive way. If they cannot do it, someone else has to do it.
In conclusion – we need to keep reminding parents and kids the using technology EVERY WAKING HOUR is critical.
