That depends on the type of hearing loss. Hearing loss can be related to nerves, to the ear drum/ear bones, or both. Each type of hearing loss is treated differently.
depends on the type of hearing loss, conductive vs sensorineural... the latter can you usually not be improved.
There are several option of which depends on what is going on with the ear(s). I would first see a Pediatric Audiologist for an evaluation and testing. From there you will be given direction on what are the next steps.
