Thanks to advances in hearing technology, children no longer need to live in a world of silence.  The first step starts with you, the parents. It's essential to diagnose children with hearing loss as early in life as possible!

Siemens is at the forefront of adapting advanced technology into instruments designed with children's needs in mind. From smaller Behind-the-Ear instruments to safety features and hands-free operation, there is a solution that best suits a wide range of children's hearing losses.

Hearing impairments in children occur more frequently than is generally known. Out of 1000 newborn children, two to three suffer from a hearing impairment that requires treatment. This often goes undetected until the second or third year of life, consequently, delaying the child’s ability to hear and to speak.

From the moment of birth, hearing plays a critical role in child development. Through hearing, infants learn to interpret the world around them. They start when hearing loud sounds, and quickly and naturally learn to recognize their parents’ voices. Hearing loss can now be detected even before a newborn leaves the hospital. A complete diagnosis and treatment program can then follow in the coming weeks and months, taking full advantage of this critical time in an infant’s development, and ensuring that his or her full potential is realized.
