📚👂 Is Your Child Struggling in School? It Might Be Their Hearing.

Hearing issues in school-aged kids often go unnoticed — but they can affect learning, behavior, and confidence. Watch for these signs:

🔸 Frequently asks “What?” or “Huh?”
🔸 Trouble following instructions
🔸 Talks too loudly or too softly
🔸 Struggles with reading or speech
🔸 Seems inattentive or easily distracted

If you’ve noticed these signs, it's time to schedule a hearing evaluation. Perhaps it is their hearing, or perhaps it is something beyond, such as auditory processing disorder. Either way, if you are in our area, we assess children of all ages. 🎧✨

💬👂 How many people and what percentage of people have APD?

The prevalence of APD in children has been estimated at 2-7% in US and UK populations (Chermak & Musiek, 2007; Bamiou et al., 2001). Musiek, Gollegly, Lamb, & Lamb (1990) estimate that 3-7% of school-aged children have learning disabilities, and that a major portion of this number would also have APD. Brewer et al. (2016) state that APD prevalence in children may be approximately 10% taking into account comorbidity with other developmental disorders with which APD occurs.

🎒📚 5 Tips to Help Your Child Hear Better in the Classroom 🎧👂
Whether your child has hearing loss, auditory processing challenges, or just struggles to focus in noisy settings, these tips can make a big difference!

1️⃣ Request Preferential Seating
Sitting near the teacher (and away from noisy areas like windows or doors) helps your child hear instructions more clearly.

2️⃣ Use Visual Supports
Encourage teachers to pair spoken directions with written instructions or visual cues to reinforce learning.

3️⃣ Build in Listening Breaks
The classroom can be overwhelming! Short listening breaks help the brain reset and improve attention over time.

4️⃣ Practice Active Listening at Home
Games like “Simon Says” or “Repeat After Me” strengthen focus and listening comprehension in fun ways.

5️⃣ Stay in Communication with the Teacher
Check in regularly to ensure your child is following lessons and to address any concerns early.

📣 Every child deserves the tools to succeed in the classroom—and it starts with supporting how they hear and process sound.

Need help navigating your child’s hearing needs? We’re here to support with evaluations, strategies, and care that meets them where they are. 💙

Types of APD Deficits 🧠🧩
These could be signs of Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) — a condition that affects the brain's ability to make sense of the sounds it hears.

🧠 Individuals with APD may:
✔️ Have trouble understanding speech in noisy settings
✔️ Frequently ask for repetition (“Huh?” or “What did you say?”)
✔️ Struggle with reading, spelling, or language-based tasks
✔️ Seem easily distracted or unfocused
✔️ Mix up similar-sounding words or sounds

💡 The good news? With a proper evaluation and tailored support, individuals with APD can thrive! An auditory processing evaluation helps identify specific areas of difficulty and provides a roadmap for intervention.

📍Our clinic offers comprehensive APD testing and therapy designed to support attention, memory, and listening comprehension. Our Mindful Ears APD Program utilizes the Buffalo Model, which focuses on four main categories: Decoding, Tolerance Fading Memory, Organization, and Integration.

🧠👂 What is Auditory Processing Disorder (APD)?

As Dr. Jack Katz, a pioneer in audiology, stated, auditory processing is "what the brain does with what it hears."

An Auditory Processing Disorder (APD) means there’s a breakdown in the way the brain makes sense of sounds. 📉 It’s not a hearing loss, but it can look like one because it impacts how a person understands what they hear. APD is actually a disorder of the brain’s auditory pathways, specifically in the auditory cortex.

Understanding APD is the first step in getting the right support. 💙

The audiology community has lost this great pioneer and visionary (Dr. Jack Katz) just this past week. Please check out our newly published blog and learn how Onsite Audiology is striving to keep his legacy alive by providing Auditory Processing Services.

📚✏️ Is Your Child’s Hearing Ready for the Classroom?

As we gear up for a new school year, it’s easy to focus on supplies, uniforms, and schedules—but what about your child’s hearing health? 🧏‍♂️👂

Undetected hearing issues can make it harder for kids to follow lessons, respond in class, and build confidence. Even mild hearing loss may impact speech, language development, and learning. Early screening can ensure your child is fully prepared to listen, learn, and thrive this school year. 🎒✨

✅ Does your child often ask “What?” or seem to miss instructions?
✅ Do they struggle to hear in noisy classrooms?
✅ Are teachers raising concerns about attention or participation?

A simple hearing check can make a world of difference. Let’s give every child the best chance to succeed. 📈❤️
