A hearing screening is often the first step to identifying if there is something going on with your little ones hearing.

➡️Newborn babies have their first hearing screen within 4 days of birth - this is called an otoacoustic emission (OAE) or an auditory brainstorm response (ABR)
➡️Hearing screenings usually begin during the first (reception) year of Primary School.
➡️But if you have concerns about your child’s hearing, don’t wait! Talk to your doctor or an audiologist today.
➡️Early identification of hearing loss is key to make sure your little one gets the support they need in order to thrive!

Ever had ear drops run out of your ears almost as quick as you put them in? 🙂

Sorry, but then you are not quite doing it right - here are some top tips!

👂Clean out the ear canal externally by using a tissue or wet wipe
👂Keep the ear facing upwards
👂Gently pull the earlobe backwards and upwards
👂Drop 1 or 2 ear drops into the ear canal
👂Move the pinna to make sure the ear drops go in
👂Put in 1 or 2 more ear drops
👂Push the tragus a few times
👂Keep the ear facing upwards for 5 minutes

We tend to recommend that using a spray, such as Earol, can make the process easier and more effective as it gently sprays along the canal.... let us know what works for you 👇

We hope that helps!

Double tap if your little one has had at least one ear infection❗

Well you are not alone because ear infections are actually more common than you might think. In fact, 80% of children experiencing an ear infection by the age of 3.

But what does this have to do with their hearing you might ask❓

Ear infections or a build up of fluid in the ears can result in hearing difficulties that can be described as hearing as if you are underwater, which results in softer and muffled sounds.

This hearing difficulty can impede your little one’s ability to learn and pronounce words correctly and understand what others are saying.

➡️If your child suffers from frequent ear infections, talk to your doctor or an audiologist about getting a hearing test.
➡️Addressing any hearing issues early on is critical for your child’s speech and language development.
