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:

  1. The Child
  2. The Family
  3. 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.
