May is National Speech-Language-Hearing Month! Did you know that nearly 15% of school-aged children experience some degree of hearing loss? Early identification and support can make a huge difference in a child’s academic success, communication skills, and confidence.
Signs to watch for may include:
• Turning the TV volume up too loud
• Difficulty hearing in class
• Complaints of ringing in the ears
• Social withdrawal or frustration
If you have concerns about your child’s hearing or communication development, don’t wait to seek support. Early intervention matters!
