When it comes to your child’s hearing, early is B.E.S.T

Did you know that it’s our brain that interprets what we hear? Providing the brain with the stimulation it needs at an early age can help children to achieve better speech, language and social skills1.

Knowing hearing and language milestones is B.E.S.T

Knowing hearing and language milestones is B.E.S.T

Hearing is the first step in developing communication skills. It’s one of the ways in which children learn to recognise a parent - babies begin to notice sounds in the womb2. Hearing is also a key part of learning to talk because children learn by mimicking sounds.

Although hearing isn't the only way we communicate, hearing loss impacts how we speak and interact.

If you think that your child has missed any of the hearing and language milestones, a simple check-up with an audiologist can help identify the root cause.

Early identification of hearing loss is B.E.S.T

Early identification of hearing loss is B.E.S.T

If your child has hearing loss, acting as early as possible is important. A study showed that children who are implanted early can learn to speak sooner than those implanted later in life. In fact, performance scores in children implanted younger are closer to scores of normal hearing children.4

Evidence shows that early treatment could put your child’s development on par with their hearing peers 3,5,6 – helping them have opportunities to excel in life.

Treating hearing loss early is B.E.S.T

The early years of your child’s life are a significant period for brain development7. Since hearing happens in the brain8,9, it is important to provide a child's brain with the auditory stimulation it needs at an early age. This can help them to develop their best speech, language, and social skills. 3, 8,9

Cochlear implants use electrical impulses to transmit sound to the inner ear and on to the hearing nerve. These electrical impulses are then interpreted by the brain as sound.
Cochlear implant surgery can last up to two hours for one ear. The surgery is typically outpatient and performed under general anesthesia. Most people are back to their normal routine after a couple days of recovery.
Cochlear implants are covered through the public health system and private health insurance (hospital cover). Contact the Cochlear Care Team today to learn about the funding options available to you.
One of the first steps to getting a cochlear implant is to get tested by an audiologist who is trained in cochlear implants and advanced hearing technologies to see if you qualify as a candidate.
