Hearing loss treatments for children

Almost all children’s hearing problems can be treated, even if they have severe or profound hearing loss.

As a parent, you are likely to be feeling anxious if your child has a hearing problem.

You might be reassured to know that, with the right hearing treatment, even a profoundly deaf child can hear, learn spoken language, be a proficient communicator and live a full life.

If your child has been diagnosed with a hearing loss, your health care professional can tell you what is the best solution for their unique hearing needs.

Cochlear implants For children with a severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss who receive little or no benefit from hearing aids.

Bone conduction implants For children with conductive hearing loss, mixed hearing loss or single sided deafness.

Hearing aids For children with a mild-to-moderate sensorineural hearing loss.
