Use visual cues such as moving your hands and showing pictures in addition to using speech. Seat your child near adults and children who are speaking. Speak clearly and repeat important words, but use natural speaking tones and pattern. Stand still when talking to your child to decrease distractions. Fix noisy appliances such as heaters or air conditioners.
Limit play with noisy toys.
For example, use dividers for small group play and reading. Close windows and doors when it is noisy outside. Language Learning Take advantage of opportunities every day to help children develop their language. All children can benefit from responsive language interactions, especially children with hearing loss due to otitis media. Talk with your child during mealtimes, baths, and throughout the day.
