My child can’t hear – what now?

Your child has been diagnosed with severe-to-profound sensorineural hearing loss, which means that the hair cells of their cochlear are missing or damaged, but other important structures in their cochlear are intact. Even though you might have suspected some sort of hearing problem, a diagnosis like this most came as a shock to you. However, it does not mean that your child will never be able to hear. Hearing loss is treatable. The important thing is to act quickly to avoid any further delay of their speech and language development. Would you like to explore available interventions?
