For most families of children with hearing loss, the first important step toward hearing health will be having your infant or child fitted with hearing aids. Other children will develop hearing loss later in childhood due to infection, medication side effects, a genetic condition or exposure to loud noises. If you suspect that your child has hearing loss, visit your pediatrician or ear, nose and throat (ENT) physician right away and ask for a referral to a pediatric audiologist. These hearing care professionals specialize in testing, treatment and follow-up for children with hearing loss. Here's what to do if you suspect your school-aged child or teen has hearing loss. All hearing aid models contain a microphone to pick up sound, a processor that analyzes the sound (filtering out unwanted sounds like excess wind noise, for example, while amplifying desired sounds), and a receiver (or speaker) to deliver the amplified sound deep inside the ear. A battery powers the unit, and it can be rechargeable or disposable.
