What do you need to do if your child has hearing loss?
- If your child is complaining of hearing loss, first see your primary care physician and he/she will determine the next best step.
- Your physician may refer your child to an ear, nose, and throat specialist, then your child may need to be seen by a physician who specializes in the evaluation and rehabilitation of the ear (audiologist).
