Better hearing is essential for a child’s speech, language, social, and emotional development. Many parents suspect early on that their baby may not be able to hear. When a newborn isn’t frightened by loud noises or a 5- or 6-month-old baby doesn’t react to the sound of their name, this may suggest that they have a hearing loss. Older kids who can’t hear properly may turn up the volume on the TV or computer very high or fail to respond when their mother or father speaks.
Don’t worry: it’s easy to check and rectify your child’s poor hearing. At RCHI, located in Lahore, we specialize in diagnosing and treating pediatric hearing loss with compassionate, expert care. Our expert audiologists are dedicated to supporting your child’s hearing health, ensuring the best possible outcomes for their growth and development.
Pediatric hearing loss, also known as children’s hearing impairment or deafness, is the loss of hearing ability from birth to a young age. It may be inborn, belated onset, progressive, or inherited. It can range from mild to profound and affect one or both ears.
If your child is not reaching certain milestones or shows signs of delayed speech, inattentiveness, or sensitivity to volume, please consider a hearing evaluation.

The most effective treatment depends on the type, severity, and cause of hearing loss in kids, as well as your child’s age and needs.
