  5. Treatments for childhood hearing loss Depending on the severity and cause of hearing loss in your child, hearing aids, cochlear implants and a combination of speech therapy or assistive listening devices might be recommended forms of treatment. If you notice that your infant or child shows any of the above signs, take him or her to your family doctor, who can refer you to a pediatric audiologist to have your child's hearing tested. There are several objective tests that infants, toddlers and young children can undergo as well. These tests are painless and non-invasive. After exam, the audiologist will spend time talking with you about your child's hearing ability and recommend an appropriate treatment plan or medical intervention.

  6. 1. Hearing Aids Hearing aids are one kind of hearing device that can help children with hearing loss to hear clearly. There are many advanced models of aids which includes high-powered aids for children with profound hearing loss, which offer high-quality hearing assistance. There are several models of hearing devices to choose from, including behind-the-ear hearing aids or those that are almost entirely in the ear canal and very discreet. Many other solutions for children include special coverings and other accessories to ensure that young children don't remove or misplace their hearing aids. 

  7. 2. Cochlear Implants Cochlear implants will work for infants and children who cannot benefit from hearing aids. Cochlear implants are surgically implanted devices that are directly stimulating through the auditory nerve in the inner ear with electrical stimulation. It also has an external device, and many companies make kid-friendly devices that can be held on with a soft headband. 

  8. 3. Speech Therapy For children who had an hearing loss that has affected their speech, he or she might need speech-language therapy after getting hearing aids or a cochlear implant to help him or her catch up on speech delays.

  9. 4.  Assistive Listening Devices Assistive Listening Devices (ALDs) are the amplifiers that bring sound directly into the ear. Many hearing aid manufacturing companies offer ALDs such as FM systems that are discreet and work well in a classroom situation in conjunction with the child's hearing aid or cochlear implant. It also helps to address listening challenges in three ways:  minimizing background noise; reducing the effect of distance between the sound source and the deaf or hard of hearing person. FM technology will helps to overcome the poor acoustics of classroom settings or other venues with lots of background noise. Essentially, the teacher usually wears or has a discreet microphone in front of him/her that transmits their voice directly to the child's hearing aids or cochlear implant.
