Signs of Hearing Loss in Children

If you aren’t sure whether your child has hearing loss, here are common signs and symptoms of hearing loss depending on their age:

• Newborns — they do not react to sudden loud noises or to your voice by “jumping”, looking startled, or turning their eyes towards you when you speak
• 1 year olds — they have not yet started trying to imitate sounds or speech, like “Mama” or “Dada”
• Toddlers — limited or no speech, difficulty paying attention when you speak, difficulty learning
• Children and teenagers — listens to the TV or music at very high volumes, becomes easily frustrated in a conversation when there is a lot of background noise

If your child shows any of these signs or symptoms of hearing loss in children, contact us today to book a hearing test. We will assess their hearing capacity and recommend the best solutions to improve their hearing.
