Hearing loss in school-aged children is typically characterised by the children losing the ability to hear sounds below certain volumes, but hearing loss can go beyond that. As a caregiver, you may be concerned with your child’s hearing ability. There are several signs of childhood hearing loss, but many also overlap with other conditions. Speak with your primary care physician and Audiologist to best determine the cause of your child’s lack of hearing. Now, here are some signs of hearing loss in school-aged children.
Signs of hearing loss can present at any age and at any time. Ideally, you can track your child’s symptoms and when they started with an Audiologist. Signs of hearing loss in a school-aged child may include:
Keep in mind that possible hearing loss may be challenging to identify in some school-aged children with underdeveloped speech abilities or other neurological disabilities such as Autism. A complete medical evaluation is often needed, along with hearing testing, to rule out other medical possibilities.
