4 Made for the most important person in the world. Your child. If your child has been diagnosed withhearing loss, you are not alone. Many parents just like you face the same challenges. Thanks to modern pediatric hearing instruments like Siemens Explorer, your child can enjoy the beauty of sounds in a new way. Taking action There are different types and causes of hearing loss in children. And each case is unique. Specific tests are necessary to determine the kind of hearing problem your child has, as well as the most effec tive solution. Consult a qualified Hearing Care Professional for a thorough evaluation as early as possible, in order to avoid delays in language acquisition. Counseling and support After your child is fitted with hearing instruments, there may be a period of adjustment. Part of this process may include counseling for both the child and family members. Informal counseling may also be helpful. Talk to parents of other children with hearing loss in your community. These parents face the same challenges and opportunities as you and may have suggestions and additional resources to recommend. Choosing the right hearing instruments If your Hearing Care Professional has recommended the use of hearing instruments for your child, consider all options carefully before you decide. Siemens offers hearing instruments that are designed specially for children and can be customized to meet the needs of your child. Involve your child in the decision process and let your child pick the color.
