Children With Hearing Loss
In addition to seeing a physician for a medical evaluation, a
child with a hearing loss should be directed to an audiologist
for evaluation and rehabilitation since hearing loss may
cause problems in language development and the education
and social growth of a child. An audiologist is qualified
by training and experience to assist in the evaluation and
rehabilitation of a child with hearing loss.
Binaural Amplification
Hearing instruments are the most commonly chosen option
to improve hearing loss. Today’s hearing instruments are
quite small in size and feature sophisticated electronics that
accommodate a wide variety of hearing losses. Nature gave
us two ears for a reason and since the majority of people
who have a hearing loss are affected in both ears, two
(binaural) hearing instruments are typically recommended.
Two hearing instruments should provide these benefits:
• Better overall sound quality when compared to one hearing
instrument (“stereo sound”).
• The ability to locate a sound source in noisy and normal
listening conditions.
• Increased ability to understand speech in noisy and normal
listening conditions.
• A sensation of balanced hearing.
