Speech and hearing go hand in hand. 👂💬
When a child has difficulty hearing certain sounds clearly, it can affect how they learn to speak, pronounce words, follow directions, and communicate with others.
Some signs that may be worth discussing with a professional include:
• Delayed speech or limited vocabulary
• Difficulty pronouncing certain sounds
• Frequently asking for things to be repeated
• Turning the television volume up unusually high
• Not responding consistently when their name is called
• Difficulty following directions or participating in conversation
Early support can make a meaningful difference in a child’s communication and confidence.
