Your friends Jack and Jill are the parents of a new baby boy. Jill has relatives who have some hearing impairment, so they are worried about their son's hearing
What can you tell Jack and Jill about the signs of hearing impairment that they should watch for in their son?
What will be an ideal response?
A good answer will be similar to the following:
The first sign of hearing impairment that parents should look for in a newborn is a lack of response to sudden, loud noises. Second, repeated ear infections might be a sign of damage to the ear. Third, by four or five months a baby with normal hearing should turn its head in the direction of sounds. Fourth, by eight or nine months a baby with normal hearing should respond to its own name. Fifth, by 12 months a baby with normal hearing should begin to imitate speech sounds. Jack and Jill should watch for these signs and seek treatment immediately for any hearing impairment. If hearing impairment is recognized and dealt with at an early age, a child's cognitive and social development will be normal.
