60 | How Do You Know if Your Child with Cochlear Implants or Hearing Aids Can Hear You?

Raising Deaf Kids- Hard of hearing, Hearing Loss, Sign Language, ASL, Listening and Spoken Language, Hearing Impaired

A few of our facebook group members have asked some really great questions recently, and one of those questions is, “knowing if my child can hear me or not?”

That’s a question that I get asked a lot. How do I know that my deaf or hard of hearing child is hearing me, and do I know if my child is understanding me?

Hearing and understanding are two totally different skills, but they both work together to build the foundation of learning a language. Today we’re going to talk about the difference between hearing and understanding and how you can check for hearing and understanding with your child.
