California Early Hearing Detection & Intervention (EHDI)

Conductive Hearing

Different hearing levels caused by something, usually structural, that stops sounds from getting through the outer or middle ear. This type of hearing level can often be treated with medicine or surgery. This type of hearing issue is usually mild and temporary. As a parent of a deaf child, it can be overwhelming to receive a diagnosis of conductive hearing level, which may affect your ability to hear sounds. However, the good news is that this type of hearing issue is often mild and temporary, and can often be treated with medicine or surgery. The prognosis for individuals with conductive hearing level is generally positive, as treatment options are available to address the underlying cause of the condition. It’s important to consult with a healthcare professional to determine the best course of action for your specific situation. In some cases, hearing aids or other assistive devices may be recommended to improve hearing. In addition to medical treatments, it’s also important to consider alternative communication options, such as learning sign language. Learning sign language can be a valuable skill for both you and your child, as it can provide a way to communicate effectively even in situations where hearing may be compromised. Overall, it’s important to stay informed about the diagnosis and explore all available treatment options. Seeking support from healthcare professionals, educators, and other parents of deaf children can also be beneficial in navigating this new phase of your journey. Remember that you are not alone, and there are resources and support available to help you and your child thrive.
