What if the child does not want to wear a hearing aid?

Many nephews will refuse to wear hearing aids for several reasons:

(1) I rarely heard the sound in the past, suddenly felt it, and I couldn’t figure out what was going on and I was scared. If the sound is too big at the beginning, it will aggravate his fear;

(2) headphones (or ear molds) are placed on the ears to make the child feel uncomfortable;

(3) Others don’t wear hearing aids to make children feel special, and think it’s not a good thing.

In response to these situations, you should address the issue in the following ways:

(1) The texture, size, smoothness, etc. of the earplugs (or ear molds) should be as suitable as possible for the child’s actual condition. It is too hard, too big or too rough to be easily rejected by the child. In addition, don’t insert the earplugs into your child’s ear when you first wear it. The movement should be light, otherwise it may make him afraid to see the hearing aid in the future. In general, ear molds are often more acceptable to children than earplugs.

(2) The first time you wear a hearing aid, you should choose a quiet room, and the sound should not be adjusted too much. Moreover, it is best to let the children listen to some brighter sounds, such as the sound of running water, the ticking of clocks, and the soft music. Don’t wait to teach him to talk as soon as the child wears a hearing aid. This is often counterproductive. After a while, you can practice speaking one-on-one, and finally let the child wear a hearing aid to a more complex sound environment.

(3) If your child is determined not to wear a hearing aid, you can also use step-by-step, gradual adaptation. For example, let him put on the earplugs (or ear molds); then connect the wires after adaptation; then connect the body after a while; finally let him listen to the sound.

(4) In the process of getting used to the child, adjust the knobs according to the child’s response to the sound and find the best position as soon as possible.

(5) When wearing a hearing aid, the time of wearing it every day should not be too long. If the child shows resentment, he will pick it up. But in general, every day should be a little longer than the day before, and the first thing to wake up gradually is to wear a hearing aid.

(6) Forcing a child to wear a hearing aid is not a good idea anyway and should be avoided. When your child is wearing a hearing aid and crying, you may want to try to distract him, such as letting him play a new toy. In fact, if the child wears a hearing aid for a long time, he can appreciate the benefits of the hearing aid. At that time, don’t let him use him instead of crying.
