Hearing is one of our most precious senses. Through
hearing we develop language, learn social and communication skills,
enjoy music, marvel at the diverse sounds of our world, and are also
warned of approaching danger.
Learning that your child suffers
from profound hearing loss can be a difficult experience. You may find
yourself faced with challenging situations and difficult decisions. ENT
specialists, pediatric audiologists and speech therapists can assist
you with professional guidance and support. Fortunately, there are also
many groups and organizations that offer support and provide
opportunities for parents to share knowledge and experiences.
