How to Recognise a Child’s Hearing Loss
If you are your child’s primary carer, it is likely that you’ll be the first person to notice any hearing issues. There are various ways that hearing loss in children presents initially. This can include lack of or minimal responses, taking a long time to learn how to speak or if they often misunderstand what you are saying.
Some tell-tale signs include the following:
- Says “what?”, “pardon?”, or “huh?” frequently
- Does not always respond when called
- Appears inattentive or prone to daydreaming
- Has the TV set at a high volume
- Talks too loudly
- Has unclear speech or mispronounces words
- Becomes unsettled at school
- Is often tired, grumpy, frustrated, or overactive
- Struggles with reading, spelling and phonics
- Struggles to hear in background noise
