Imagine trying to learn with the volume turned down!
👂⁉️ Did you know that even MILD hearing loss in children can cause them to miss up to 50% of classroom discussions? Imagine trying to learn when half the words just “disappear”!
😔 Children with undetected hearing loss often look like they’re daydreaming, not paying attention, or struggling with behaviour when really, they simply can’t hear clearly. Even sitting at the back of the classroom can make the problem worse, because background noise drowns out important sounds.
🌟 The good news is that regular hearing checks and simple classroom strategies (like seating a child closer to the teacher, using microphones/speakers, or teaching nose blowing to clear fluid) can make a huge difference for learning, speech development, and confidence at school.
Early detection = better listening = better learning. ✅
