What Are the Treatment Options for Hearing Loss in Children?
Reviewed by: My Child Without Limits Advisory Committee September 2009 The treatment for hearing loss depends on the cause of the loss. In some cases surgery can restore or correct hearing loss. In other cases medication may help. Sometimes a hearing aid is recommended. And there are other types of hearing loss that cannot be treated. When treatment is an option, it should start as early as possible – even when the child is as young as six months old. Early treatment of hearing loss can allow many infants to develop normal language skills without delay.
