If you suspect or if you know that your child has a hearing loss, you may not find it easy to come to terms with it. As you have the desire to find the best possible solution for your child, many questions will occur to you.
Regardless of the grade of hearing impairment or age of the child, bringing optimized hearing to them is a joint effort shared by families, hearing care professionals and Phonak. This is why we encourage families and their environment to work with meaningful materials that help them to support their children optimally.
Interdisciplinary support is crucial for their development and give them confidence in taking ownership of their hearing systems and hearing loss. This section attempts to provide answers to some of your questions and tells you where you can find professional help.
