ADVICE
NOTE
• To help your child grow accustomed to sounds, we recommend that
your child wears the hearing aid in as many situations as possible
during the day .
• The use of hearing aids increases the risk of accumulation of earwax .
Contact your physician/ENT doctor if you suspect that a plug of ear-
wax has accumulated in your child’s ear . Earwax can both reduce your
child’s hearing and considerably impair the effect of the hearing aid .
It is a good idea to ask your physician to clean your child’s ears a cou-
ple of times a year .
• In most cases, using the hearing aid infrequently will not permit your
child to gain full benefit from it .
• The use of a hearing aid is only part of hearing habilitation and may
need to be supplemented by auditory training and instruction in
lipreading .
