What is speech disorder in children? As parents, how do we go about handling it?

A child with speech disorder has difficulties saying all speech sounds in words, making speech hard to understand. The cause(s) of the speech sound disorder can be linked to things such as a cleft palate, problems with the teeth, hearing loss, or difficulty controlling the movements of the mouth.

Some indications of speech disorder include:
• The child doesn't babble using consonant sounds (particularly b, d, m, and n) by age 8 or 9 months.
• The child uses mostly vowel sounds or gestures to communicate after 18 months.
• The child’s speech cannot be understood by many people at age 3.
• The child’s speech is difficult to understand at age 4 or older.

As parents, we can help the child by giving lots of opportunities to listen to speech and to talk. This can be done frequently by pointing out and naming important people, places, and things. We can also read and talk to the child throughout the day, especially during daily routines, interactive plays, and favourite activities. We can give the child models of words and sentences to repeat.

If you have concerns about your child’s communication skills, discuss them with your child’s doctor. The doctor will likely refer the child to a speech-language pathologist for evaluation and treatment, because all children with speech and language disorders should also have their hearing tested.

What is Balance Disorder?

Balance disorder is a condition that causes a person to feel unstable, dizzy, confused, or feel a sensation of movement, spinning, or floating.

The organs in our inner ear have a labyrinth which is an important part of our vestibular (balance) system. This labyrinth interacts with other systems in the body, such as the visual system (eyes) and the skeleton (bones and joints), to maintain our body position. Because it works together with the brain and nervous system, the vestibular can also be a source of balance problems.

When a person's balance is disturbed, he or she will have difficulty maintaining orientation. For example, a person may experience a "spinning room" effect, feels dizzy (Vertigo), and may not be able to walk without staggering, or even unable to stand.

If you experience conditions like this, we recommend that you consult your nearest doctor so that it can be followed up immediately.

🤷 Do you know?
Is ear wax something dirty or unwanted?
Is it a sign of bad ear health or hygiene?

The answer is a big NO. It is a natural secretion of the ear and has a lot of benefits. It stops the dust from getting in and protects the delicate ear canal. Ear wax normally helps in lubrication of the ear canal. It also prevents bacteria, fungal infection and water getting in. In fact, the total absence of earwax may lead to dry ears resulting in itching and flaking of the Ear Canal.

The recommended home remedy for earwax removal is with the use of Hydrogen peroxide. The basic idea is to soften the accumulated wax and dislodge it without using an external object. Using foreign objects may hurt our ears. Doctors use forceps and other metal tools as they are experts in earwax removal. One can also use earwax removal drops marketed by pharmaceutical companies.

If the ear wax is too hard and the home remedy does not work, it is advisable to see your ENT Doctor.

🤷 You may not know this,
but IGNORING MINOR CHANGES IN HEARING ABILITY can cause HEARING LOSS!

❗️Our body gives us enough warning signs, but we tend to miss these subtle signs which leads to the advancement of the ailment.

☝️ If we happen to miss out on a few words in a conversation, we should be attentive and make a mental note. It could be due to noisy surroundings, but if it happens too often, it’s time to pay a visit to the Audiologist .

✌️ The Audiologist will conduct an Audiogram which will determine if we do have a Hearing Loss.
If we do we will also know the extent of the Hearing loss.
In a majority of the cases, it starts with a High-frequency Hearing Loss.

👌 With early intervention and proper medical advice, we can prevent Hearing Loss from increasing.

🤷 You may not know this,
but Excessive CIGARETTE SMOKING 🚬 can cause HEARING LOSS! 😱

‼️ Cigarette smoking is commonly linked to Cardiac and Liver ailments. It also plays a significant effect on our Ear Health.

🚬 Smoking is the main cause of Arteriosclerosis or thickening of the walls of our arteries. The arteries carry healthy blood to all the parts of our body including the ears. Thickening of the wall reduces the quantity of blood carried by the arteries, resulting in lesser blood reaching the ears.

The lack of nourishment for the ears causes Sensorineural Hearing loss, and in some cases, Profound Hearing loss.

🧐 Do you know ❓
If you think you need help in excessive Smoking and help is available.

Most Countries have Government bodies with Hotlines and Initiatives for one to reach out to, one just needs to take that very first step!

For example, in Malaysia:

🤷 You may not know this,
but NOT CARING FOR DENTAL 🦷 OR EAR 👂 INFECTIONS can cause HEARING LOSS! 😱

👂 Ear Infections have a direct link to our long-term Hearing Health. Neglecting small infections can affect the sensitive parts of the ear causing permanent Hearing disability.

There are 2 types of ear infections:

☝️ Fungal Ear Infection.
People who engage in water sports and those who are exposed to environments of high humidity are more prone to such infections. However, such infections can be avoided by keeping our ears clean and dry.

✌️ Bacterial infection.
Bacterial infection is more serious in nature and causes a lot of inconvenience. Such infections require medical attention, and it is advisable to consult an ENT Doctor to seek proper medical advice.

🦷 Dental infections can also affect the Ear Health. The infection can spread from the teeth to the ear. The Eustachian Tube connects the throat to the middle ear, this becomes a path for the infection to spread to the ear.

👍 While COVID-19 has given us a timely reminder on the importance of health wealth, let's us not neglect our dental and ear health as well.
