Let's protect children's hearing!

👂✨ Childhood Hearing Loss: WHAT, WHY & HOW

WHAT is childhood hearing loss?

Ito ay pagbaba o pagkawala ng pandinig sa babies at children. Maaari itong present at birth (congenital) or develop later due to infection, trauma, or other causes. Minsan hindi obvious — kaya important ang screening.

WHY does it matter?

Hearing is critical for:
🗣 Speech and language development
📚 Learning and school performance
🤝 Social skills and confidence

Kapag hindi na-detect early, puwedeng magkaroon ng speech delay, academic struggles, at behavioral concerns. Early detection = better outcomes.

HOW can we protect our children?

✅ Newborn hearing screening
✅ Regular ear check-ups
✅ Prompt treatment of ear infections
✅ Avoid prolonged exposure to loud sounds (gadgets, headphones, loud toys)
✅ Seek early ENT/audiology consult if may signs like:
– Hindi lumilingon sa tunog
– Delayed speech
– Madalas “ha?” or malakas ang TV

Healthy hearing = brighter future. 💙
Let’s protect every child’s chance to hear, learn, and thrive.

If you or anyone you know, have a mass (bukol) on your neck, have it checked by your friendly ENT surgeon.😉
