Congenital deafness is 6 years old, can I still wear a hearing aid without speaking?

      As long as there is residual hearing, you can wear a hearing aid. It is recommended to go to the hearing aid fitting center to check your hearing to see how much hearing loss is and whether it is suitable for fitting.Hearing aid, But generally worn by congenital deafnessHearing aid, Language training is needed in the later stage.

      For hearing-impaired children, the earlier the intervention, the better the hearing impairment will affect the child’s hearing and language expression.If the child still has hearing, in addition to hearing aid intervention, it is also necessary to carry out persistent speech training to exercise the child’s language ability. This is a long-term process, because the best intervention before the age of 3 has been missed.

      The principle of children’s choice of hearing aids can be simply summarized as “three early”, that is to rely on the help of hearing aids as soon as possible to carry out rehabilitation training based on the principle of “three early”: early diagnosis, early intervention (using hearing aid products), early recovery ( Perform language training).Once this period of recovery is missed, children will have great difficulty in mastering the language.

      0-3 years old have not yet mastered the language. First of all, they must be able to perceive various loudness and types of sounds, then recognize the meaning of different sounds, and then imitate the language and learn to speak.Therefore, the segmented compression function of hearing aids must meet the listening comfort of different loudness sounds, and all-digital hearing aids above the mid-range can provide better speech intelligibility, help children improve their hearing ability, learn pronunciation, and accumulate vocabulary more quickly.

      Compared with children aged 3-6 years old, children aged 0-3 have already mastered part of the language. What they need more is to correct pronunciation and make their speech clear.Hearing impaired children at this stage generally need to study in language training schools or kindergartens. The content of listening is constantly increasing and the listening environment has become more complicated. They need to be able to distinguish speech in a relatively noisy environment.Therefore, the all-digital noise reduction function of hearing aids and the directional function of environment recognition can help them listen to speech in complex environments and master more vocabulary and sentences.

      Hearing-impaired children over 6 years old will generally enter normal primary school after the previous two stages of language training rehabilitation. They must integrate into the normal children’s group to learn and develop their language expression skills.At this time, listening needs become more complicated. They need to learn foreign languages, participate in group activities, and cultivate the ability to communicate with the outside world, so the performance requirements of hearing aids are higher.It is generally recommended to use hearing aids with FM speech training system to ensure the signal-to-noise ratio in a noisy environment, and you can choose relatively beautiful and invisible hearing aids.
