Myths about Hearing loss
- If you keep talking to a child with a Hearing loss, they'll eventually hear and speak ❌

- Talking to your child will not cure Hearing loss. Children with hearing loss need intervention as early as possible. These interventions are dependant on the degree of Hearing loss, and could be in the form of Hearing Aids / Cochlear Implantation with speech therapy and Alternative language (Sign Language).
