Can children wear hearing aids?

Yes, children can wear hearing aids, and early intervention is crucial for language and speech development. Pediatric hearing aids are specially designed to be durable and safe for active lifestyles. Children as young as a few weeks old can be fitted with hearing aids if hearing loss is detected. Pediatric fittings require specialized expertise to ensure proper fit, programming, and ongoing adjustments as the child grows. Regular follow-up appointments are especially important for children to monitor hearing changes and device performance.
