Do you know why you should opt for Child Hearing Aid Melbourne solutions?

If your kid has been diagnosed with loss of hearing, choosing the right child hearing aid may be crucial to the progress of their spoken prowess and overall educational growth. Find out all about hearing aids for infants. For certain families with children with hearing disabilities, having the newborn or toddler fitted with hearing aids would be the first significant move towards their hearing health.

Your child might be at risk

At least one or two out of every 1,000 infants tested for hearing loss have been found either to be born deaf or suffering from pediatric hearing loss. It has also been found that many kids experience hearing loss later down the line due to other reasons, such as illness, a medical disorder, drug side effects, and/or exposure to loud sounds. You can minimise the challenges that your child might face, simply by building contact with Child Hearing Melbourne based organisations ahead of time.

What to do?

Visit your paediatrician or ear, nose, and throat (ENT) specialist straight away if you believe that your child has hearing loss, and ask for a referral to a paediatric audiologist. For children with hearing loss, these hearing support providers excel in testing, medication, and follow-up.

Child hearing aids

Generally, hearing aid models include a sound pick-up microphone, a processor that analyses the sound (for example, filters out unnecessary noises such as unnecessary wind noise when amplifying desired sounds), and a receiver (or speaker) to produce the amplified sound deep within the ear.

The device is operated by a battery, and it may be recharged as per the requirements. To allow direct transmission of streamed sound via the hearing aid, the new models also attach to devices such as smartphones, tablets, and laptops.

How distinct are paediatric hearing aids?

Hearing aids designed specifically for babies and teenagers, with a few main exceptions, function quite similarly to adult hearing aids:

More robust than adult ones, paediatric hearing aids are designed to be more durable. Kids will put a great deal of wear and tear on hearing aids.

With FM systems and other assistive technologies, paediatric hearing aids are always compliant. This is particularly important for school-age children to promote contact and learning.

Cases with batteries are tamper-resistant on infant hearing aids. If treated improperly or ingested, batteries may be dangerous.

A separate LED light that shows the unit is operating is also used with paediatric hearing aid situations. This role makes it easy for parents and teachers to review the devices easily.

Are these hearing aids safe for kids?

Many infant hearing aids, which come in many different bright colours, are also free of all potential allergens or toxic chemicals. The size and design of the hearing aid can differ based on the child’s type and extent of hearing loss. Many kids may wear a tiny unit with a thin tube and a small plastic dome worn in the ear canal behind their ear. Others can wear behind their ear a slightly larger unit (known as a “power” unit) and an earmold that covers the ear concha.

Whatever the requirement is, getting in contact with Child Hearing Melbourne organisations like Neuaudio will sort the entire process for you, no matter how complicated it may be.

What happens in an Initial Appointment?

Unless you have a family member or friend who has hearing aids, the field of Audiology is often unfamiliar.

Don’t worry, you are not alone!

In fact one of the our main roles as audiologists is to educate our clients on what we can do and how we can help.

A passion of Andrew’s, our founder and principal audiologist is helping his clients to better understanding hearing, the connection between the ear and the brain and hearing loss. In an initial appointment he will also vehemently discuss ways to obtain the best results from hearing aids, if they recommended as part of hearing loss treatment.

His goal is to empower his clients so they can make better informed choices about their hearing health.

What type of appointment should I choose?

We have a number of appointment options available to identify if you have a hearing loss and whether or not hearing aids may be of benefit.

The best option, if you are not sure if you have a hearing loss or have been told you need a hearing test, is to book in for a First Time Hearing Evaluation (Link). Our audiologists take you step-by-step through the process and you gain an understanding about how hearing works and how we test for hearing loss.

Your hearing is then tested, in a number of ways to ensure accurate results. Throughout the process your audiologist will explain the audiogram, the graph that is used to measure your hearing as well as your results.

If your hearing loss is at a level where it is considered significant your practitioner will recommend hearing aids and walk you through their features. They will present a number of options to suit your lifestyle and needs.

What if I already have hearing aids?

If you already have hearing aids you can book in for a Hearing Aid Adjustment/Second Opinion Consultation at any of our Brisbane or Melbourne locations. In this session your audiologist will discuss your current devices as well as gain a thorough understanding about your hearing health and lifestyle.

From here your audiologist will perform a hearing test. Then either make adjustments or recommendations around your current hearing aids or recommend a different solution that will better suit your needs.

According to Hearing Aid Research

The average person waits 7 – 10 years to treat their hearing loss. We know that this is 7 – 10 years too long for a variety of reasons, including a connection between hearing loss and an increased risk of dementia.

We are thrilled to be able to offer a second location in Melbourne to make it even easier to access treatment for hearing loss and provide you with information and support to help you live life without unnecessary limitation.
