Early intervention with hearing loss is very important when dealing with pediatric hearing loss. When hearing loss is left untreated, a child\u2019s academic and social performance may experience a decline. If you suspect your child may have some degree of hearing loss, consider the following:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Do your child\u2019s teachers report that he or she can be unresponsive?<\/li><li>Have you noticed your child turning his or her head so that sound is directed more at a specific ear?<\/li><li>Does your child seem to look intently at people\u2019s face or lips when they speak?<\/li><li>Has your child experienced an unexplained drop in academic performance?<\/li><li>Has it been more than a year since their last hearing check?<\/li><li>Does your child seem to speak at a louder volume than others?<\/li><li>Is your child unresponsive when he or she is facing away from you?<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you child has exhibited any of these behaviors, we recommend seeking a formal diagnosis from a hearing health professional.
