Hearing Loss is a condition that develops over time and is frequently linked to noise and age. Whenever a person has a condition of the middle ear, an ear infection, or earwax, they lose their hearing quickly. Hearing loss is classified into three levels, each of which is measured in decibels. Mild deafness runs at 25 to 39 decibels, considerable deafness at 40 to 69 db., serious deafness from 70 to 89 decibels, and profound deafness from 90 dB and more. It's impossible to estimate an individual's hearing loss consequences based on pure sound information (Roeser, Valente, and Hosford-Dunn 256).
Parents' Role in Hearing Impaired Children's Education
Assisting with language learning and speaking
Natural language learning and speech are the most significant functions that are impacted by hearing loss. Language development, on the other hand, is critical since it is the foundation of communication. This is the most crucial aspect in a child's overall growth. It is the foundation of most learning, not just in formal education but also in the formation of children's character, emotional state, and social relationships. 'Who should learn to speak and how should it be taught to children?' are the questions.
As a result, parents of hearing-impaired children can engage and converse with them in the same way that they would with hearing children. They must keep in mind.,
- Ascertain if the youngster is using hearing aids.
- Make sure your hearing aids are in good working order.
- Talk to the youngster in a natural manner, ideally a little slower, and make sure the baby is gazing at you.
- He makes a conscious effort to label the objects in his environment.
- Discuss all of the events and activities that are taking place around him.
