It is most important to provide for the deaf child the hearing aid best adapted to the residual hearing, and as early as possible. Which ever system of amplification is chosen, auditory training will be necessary, and will be more exhaustive the greater the hearing loss. When the child derives no benefit from a conventional hearing aid, an alternative electric aid or cochlear implant will be offered. Although our role is to inform the parents, the decision to carry out a cochlear implant must be theirs. |
