However, it takes time to learn to use a hearing aid. Your child will not respond immediately and patience is needed. Your audiologist will help determine which is best for your child. We know people with normal hearing can lose hearing from excessive noise or too much loud sound. This is also true for people who use hearing aids.
Hearing aids amplify all sound, so sometimes they are very loud.
The audiologist will try to find a hearing aid that your child does well with, and that is not too loud. Some children's hearing can get worse. Most of the time we do not know why. This may be referred to as a progressive loss or degenerative loss. A cochlear implant is an electronic device that provides sound information for children who have a profound sensorineural hearing loss in both ears and obtain very limited benefit from appropriate binaural hearing aids.
