Children with hearing loss
In addition to seeing a physician
for medical evaluation, a child with
a hearing loss should be directed
to an audiologist for evaluation
and rehabilitation, since hearing loss
may cause problems in language
development and educational
and social growth of a child. An
audiologist is qualified by training and
experience to assist in the evaluation
and rehabilitation of a child with a
hearing loss. If the user is an infant,
small child, or person with cognitive
impairment, it is recommended
that the hearing aid be modified
with a tamper-resistant battery
compartment.
