Abstract

Speech communication is uniquely exclusive to humans. With hearing, children have full access to the language of their home environment. If they have hearing loss or impairment, they are deprived of experiencing the sounds of nature and humans around them. Children who lose their hearing or have trouble hearing may struggle to learn and understand spoken language. This can make it difficult for them to communicate with others and navigate their environment. Hearing loss can impact a child's ability to develop age-appropriate skills in speech communication, language, and other activities. Pediatric hearing loss is a broad category that covers a wide range of pathologies. Early detection and prompt management are essential, as the development of language and psychosocial skills are significantly influenced by pediatric hearing loss. Additionally, early detection may identify potentially reversible causes or other underlying problems that can be managed. This informative article provides valuable insights into the latest research and advancements in the area of pediatric hearing loss. It explains how to assist children with hearing loss and enable them to lead a better life. The article keeps the readers informed about the latest developments in this field.
