My son was born with slight hearing loss. Will he have a speech problem as well?
Hello, The question is rather vague because a lot depends on which frequencies are affected by the hearing loss. If the speech frequencies are affected (500Hz, 1k and 2k), then it is more than likely that overall speech will be affected. Is the child already fitted with hearing aides? If inadequate stimulation (in terms of hearing or caregiver stimulation), then a delay in language is to be expected. If only high frequencies are affected, then difficulty saying sounds like s/sh/etc. will be there later in age (after 5years) if hearing loss is not addressed. Hope this answers some concerns. Best regards, Priya Nalla READ MORE
My son has delayed speech. Should I take him to a speech language pathologist?
I would highly recommend that he see a Speech Pathologist at the earliest. Several times there are different factors that play a role in speech and language evolution. Some of those factors are multiple language exposure, Lack of sufficient stimulation at home, too much screen time and sometimes, just other underlying factors. At 3, you would expect a child to communicate in a minimum of 3-word sentences/phrases. This should slowly evolve to them telling you stories/ what they did in school/what did they read etc. Good Luck. Best Regards, Priya Nalla READ MORE
