Key Points: 
  • A hearing loss diagnosis can be scary, overwhelming, and isolating for parents of infants and toddlers.
  • More than 90% of deaf children are born to parents who hear, which can make the news of a hearing loss very unexpected.
  • "A hearing loss diagnosis can be scary, overwhelming, and isolating for parents of infants and toddlers—particularly if hearing loss doesn't run in the family," said Tena McNamara, AuD, CCC-A/SLP, 2024 ASHA President.
  • Left unaddressed in infants and toddlers, hearing loss (even a mild hearing loss) can lead to delays in speech, language, and cognitive development.
