Hearing Impairment
Hearing impairment involves a partial or total inability to hear. It can range from mild hearing loss to complete deafness. This condition can affect communication, language development, and learning, especially if it occurs from a young age. Individuals with hearing impairment may be described as deaf or hard of hearing.
Improving Hearing and Communication
When it comes to hearing impairment, there are several options to help children hear and communicate better. Hearing aids amplify sound, making it clearer, while cochlear implants are surgically placed devices that directly stimulate the inner ear for those with severe hearing loss. Along with the right device, Audio-Verbal Therapy (AVT) plays a key role in helping children develop listening and spoken language skills. Every child’s needs are different, so they are fitted with the best hearing technology based on their level of hearing loss. A specialized therapist works closely with them to improve speech clarity and auditory skills. The earlier the intervention, the better the outcomes for communication and overall development!
