Children with all degrees of hearing loss can use hearing aids, a cochlear implant or a combination of the two to gain access to the speech and sounds that help them learn how to talk. Strong partnerships between families, teachers, and audiologists are essential to maximizing the potential of technology to help a child with hearing loss learn how to speak.
