New teachers, new classrooms, new curriculum – it can be overwhelming for anyone. That’s why our audiologists at\u00a0Evergreen Speech and Hearing Clinic recommend getting your child’s hearing checked to ensure the easiest\u00a0adjustment in the new school year.<\/p>\n
A lot of our patients come to our offices for a regular check up to make sure that everything is working properly and there has been no recent hearing loss. Hearing loss, even mild, can have a detrimental effect on a young person’s development. Translate that to a school setting, and you will see him or her experiencing\u00a0significant negative effects in social life, relationships and friendships.\u00a0That’s why it is so important for parents to catch the changes (any changes!) in their child’s hearing early on and pay us\u00a0a visit<\/a>.<\/p>\n During your visit, we will be able to evaluate any changes to your child’s hearing using the latest methods and technology. From simply repeating words to\u00a0ruling out the possibility of fluid in the ears, the evaluation is an easy and fun process for young patients.\u00a0<\/strong>More importantly,\u00a0a visit to our clinic\u00a0is\u00a0a great way to show\u00a0the importance of\u00a0taking care of your family’s health early on. At the end of your appointment you will have all an idea of how well your child can hear, as well as get recommendations on\u00a0the next steps and how to avoid damage.<\/p>\n There are several simple yet very effective ways to prevent damage to your child’s\u00a0hearing. Our audiologists recommend using ear protection (earplugs, earmuffs, etc.) in any situation involving loud noise, like when playing loud music or\u00a0helping with yard work.\u00a0In a school setting, it may be a good idea to help keep the noise levels down or avoid loud settings in general.
