About 50% of children with hearing loss do not have any of the risk factors for developing a progressive or delayed onset hearing loss. It's important to observe the behaviour of your child in response to their environment. Questions such as .... Do they startle, move, or cry to loud unexpected sounds? Are they alert to environmental sounds? Seem able to understand verbal questions or instructions? The behaviour will depend on the age of the child and whether it is appropriate for their age as each child develops differently.
