Can a child with poor hearing only wear a hearing aid

Some parents will think that hearing aids can’t help children who lose too much strength. For economic reasons, they will choose only one hearing aid for children. So, can a child only wear a hearing aid?

In fact, we suggest that as long as both ears have hearing loss and both ears still have residual hearing, we should carry out double ear matching, because there are many benefits of wearing both ears:

Building a sense of direction

It is through these two differences that we can accurately identify the source of the sound. What a dangerous thing it would be if the child walked on the road but could not tell the direction of the car!

Increase speech intelligibility

It has been proved that wearing two ears can effectively suppress noise and make children easier to listen to pure speech in noisy environment; in addition, wearing two ears can eliminate the head shadow effect and avoid the decline of speech intelligibility caused by the attenuation of speech signal when it reaches the other ear.

Avoiding delayed hearing deprivation

If the hearing impaired ear does not get sound stimulation for a long time, it can lead to the degeneration of the hearing impaired ear brain area, which is very easy to lead to the best period (3-6 years old) for the recovery of children’s aphasia, which will affect the development of children’s language, and bring a great negative impact on the speech communication, life, learning and work in the future.

Reduce whistling

Wearing hearing aids on both ears can add the loudness of both ears, effectively avoid the squeal caused by over amplification of the hearing aids, so that children can get more comfortable voice, and it is easy and effortless to listen.

Shorten the period of adaptation of hearing aids and the time of hearing and language rehabilitation

For the growing children, the processing ability of brain and auditory nerve to sound information is gradually developed with the growth of children. The smaller the children are, the more likely they are to pick up the sound, the more conducive to the development of children’s various abilities. Wearing two ears is easier to establish the connection between brain and sound, and play a better role in hearing rehabilitation.
