Children wearing hearing aids are also like people wearing glasses for the first time,
New inlaid like a tooth,
There has to be an adaptation process.
Hearing aids are an important tool to help children compensate for hearing,
It is a must-have for deaf children.
so
What should parents pay attention to?
What to do?
The following ten points are for your reference.
First, some children refuse to wear hearing aids.
For example, some children cry as soon as they wear hearing aids.
Make a fuss or grab it with your hands.
If this happens to your child,
When parents should first put the hearing aid on their ears,
Make a model for your child,
To show a very comfortable, very proud look,
Or use a better way to guide children's interest in wearing hearing aids,
Develop a good habit of wearing hearing aids in your child.
Second, pay attention to turn off the switch of the hearing aid before wearing it.
The ear mold and the ear nail cavity fit, and then turn on the switch after wearing it.
Children without language,
Volume adjustment depends on your child's reaction.
If the volume is too loud,
The child shows a frightened and uneasy appearance;
The volume is too small,
The child is not responding,
Children with language can be represented in simple language,
Answer questions about whether the hearing aid is good or not, whether there is a sound, etc.
Third, turn off the switch before going to bed.
Remove the ear mold and hearing aid,
So as not to cause adverse consequences.
Because the ear mold is harder,
It is easy to compress the external auditory canal and crush it.
Fourth, in the hot summer,
The child is constantly moving,
Sweating easily,
Sweat will soak into the movement along the battery box,
appropriate measures shall be taken,
Such as the use of elephant leather holsters, crochet hooks of the thread sleeve,
Put on a hearing aid,
Prevent the erosion of sweat,
to extend the life of the hearing aid.
Fifth, deaf children often feel uncomfortable when they first wear hearing aids.
Needs an adaptation process,
Usually around two weeks.
At this stage, three points should be noted:
Start to make the adjustment knob of the hearing aid small,
And then it grew bigger and bigger.
For ease of adaptation.
Wear hearing aids for a short to long time,
For example, wear 1 to 2 hours on the first day,
Wear it for 2 to 3 hours the next day.
According to the adaptability of deaf children,
Gradually extend the time,
Until I have a good feeling for wearing hearing aids,
Dependencies are generated.
Training sites should be from quiet interiors to natural environments where birds are singing,
To train children to adapt to various sounds.
Sixth, the hearing training of deaf children,
It should start in infancy.
The mother holds the child in her arms,
Sing to him,
or speak close to your child's ear,
Let him feel the vibration of the sound,
Train him to respond to various sounds;
Once the child can use his residual hearing to identify the sound source,
His sense of hearing began to develop,
At this time, he should be trained to pay more attention to the voice,
For example, listening to the sound of tape recorders and televisions,
Listen to the opening of the door, the sound of bells, the sound of pots, the sound of bowls, the sound of drums, the barking of dogs, and identify everything that is pronounced,
If necessary, let him feel the vibration of the pronunciation by touching the object of the pronunciation with his hand while listening.
These are all important components of language training for deaf children.
Seventh, grab the child's sight.
Whenever a child looks at you,
You talk to him,
Gradually,
His eyes will be fixed on your face,
Develop the habit of paying attention to your mouth shape,
Especially when he finds it meaningful to watch others talk,
His gaze became focused.
Gaze lip type,
Watch people talk,
It is an important part of learning a language.
Eighth, use pronunciation to feel the vibration of sound.
When you say ah (a), put your hand in the middle of your neck,
Will feel the vibration of sound;
When you say touch (m),
Press your fingers on the sides of the nose,
Will feel nasal vibrations;
When you say no (bu),
Put your fingers in front of your lips,
You can feel a stream of air rushing out.
This haptic information,
Can be used to help deaf children pronounce,
This is especially important for severely deaf children.
Ninth, language training is very critical.
First let the child understand the language,
Develop language skills.
Start with words,
Many words can be used as language alone,
For example, eating, running, jumping, walking, stopping...
Start with the child understanding the first word,
He gained language skills.
Tenth, in daily life,
Consciously let the child listen to the speech,
Learn to speak;
On the other hand, it is also necessary to combine reality,
Teach him to recognize the names of things,
For example, when eating, point to the rice bowl and teach him to say "bowl";
When going out to play,
Seeing the car teach him to say "car",
Seeing the flowers taught him to say "flowers", "red flowers", "yellow flowers", "white flowers", etc.;
Children should also be taught to sing nursery rhymes and tell stories.
Parents should always take their children to some interesting places to play.
Take the kids to do some fun games.
These are all motivating measures to inspire children to speak.
As the child grows,
The language vocabulary is becoming more and more complex and rich,
After long-term training and training,
You will be proud of your child's progress and achievements,
You'd also say, "Just work hard,
Great progress has been made."
Your children will be proud of it, too,
And because of this more promising .
