Hearing loss can develop gradually, and it’s easy to overlook small changes. Here are four signs you shouldn’t ignore:

👉 Struggling to hear in noisy places – Background noise makes it harder to follow conversations.
👉 Asking people to repeat themselves often – Missing words can affect communication and confidence.
👉 Turning up the TV or music louder than usual – Your ears may be trying to compensate for quieter sounds.
👉 Feeling tired or frustrated after conversations – Listening takes extra effort when hearing is reduced.

If any of these sound familiar, it’s a good idea to book a hearing test!🥰

Hearing loss can sneak up on you over time, especially as we get older. If you’re 65 or older in Ontario, it’s recommended to get a hearing test every year. Annual check-ups help catch changes early so you can stay connected to the sounds you love.😁

When was the last time you had your hearing checked?👂🏾

Parents and teachers really do play such an important role in a child’s speech development.🗣

Speech sound production is all about how the lips and tongue move to make sounds in words. Consonants are usually harder than vowels, which is why some sounds take longer to master.

One of the most powerful things you can do is simply be a good listener. Pay attention to what your child is saying, not just how it sounds. Constantly correcting every mistake can sometimes make kids feel self-conscious, and when that happens, they may start talking less.😃

And the truth is, they need to keep talking to improve.

Keep communication positive. Respond to their message. Create a space where speaking feels safe and encouraged. That is where real progress happens.🥰

Reading time = speech practice time 📚🗣️

Books are such a powerful (and easy!) way to practise speech sounds at home 🏡✨

Here’s how you can use reading time intentionally:

📖 Read to your child, or have them read aloud to you
📖 Choose a target sound (like “s”) and focus on it for the first 5–10 minutes
📖 Keep sentences short and encourage slow, clear reading
📖 Don’t rush, pausing gives the brain time to process and produce sounds accurately
📖 Repeat key words so your child gets extra chances to hear and practise the correct sound

Even saying something simple like,
“Let’s listen for strong ‘s’ sounds in this book!” 📚
can turn reading into a focused but fun activity 🎉

Speech practice doesn’t have to feel like “practice.” 🗣

Using visual, auditory, and tactile cues can make tricky sounds easier and more fun.

For example:
- The “snake sound” for /s/ — stretch it out: sssssss 🐍
- Slide your finger down your arm to show the long sound
- Smile and keep your tongue behind your teeth

🐝 For /z/? Try the “buzzing bee” - zzzzzzzz

Small, playful cues help children understand what their mouth should be doing.

Weekend plans: TV time, coffee chats, and quality moments.📺

Did you know some hearing aids can connect directly to your smart TV for clearer sound?

Many TVs also offer helpful features such as voice control, customizable subtitles, and audio settings like “Dialogue Boost” or “Clear Voice” that enhance speech and reduce background noise. (You can usually find these in the audio menu!)

Supporting your child’s speech at home doesn’t mean constant correction.🗣

One of the most powerful strategies? Model good speech.😊

If your child says “tove,” instead of saying “No, that’s wrong,” try gently repeating it back correctly:
“Oh yes, that’s a sssstove.”

✅ Provide the correct model
✅ Choose calm, low-pressure moments
✅ Avoid interrupting when they’re excited to share something

The goal isn’t perfection, it’s confidence and gradual progress.

The length of therapy depends on your child’s progress and the goals set with their clinician.

Regular check-ins help determine:
 🗣️ Which skills have improved 🗣️ Which goals have been met 🗣️ What areas still need support

If you have questions about your child’s progress, talk to your clinician. Staying connected ensures your child receives the right support at the right time!🥰

Big news from Peppa Pig!🐷

George, Peppa’s little brother, is now moderately deaf in a brand-new storyline.

We get to see the world from George’s audio perspective, splashes, puddles, and even the ice cream truck all sound a little different!

He’ll also meet an audiologist and get fitted with a hearing aid, helping him experience the world of sound in a whole new way.

It’s a fun and important way for families to learn about hearing loss, and we love seeing representation in kids’ shows! 🥰

Hearing loss can affect life in many ways.👂

There are three main types:
• Conductive: Often caused by fluid behind the eardrum, common in children. Can impact speech, language, and classroom learning.
• Sensorineural: Permanent hearing loss due to inner ear or nerve damage. Hearing aids may help.
• Mixed: A combination of both.

The impact also depends on your lifestyle and environment. Even mild hearing loss can be challenging in noisy or group settings.

Noticing changes in hearing? Let’s talk about next steps and support options.🥰

Children of all ages can be assessed for speech and language development, including in infancy. For young children, observations by parents and caregivers are essential for understanding communication skills.😊

If there are concerns, it is never too early to seek guidance. Early identification supports timely intervention and better long-term outcomes.🗣️

Support varies by child and may include monitoring progress, parent education, enriched early learning experiences, and group or individual therapy.

Early intervention is about providing the proper support at the right time.

If you have questions or would like guidance on next steps, let’s talk about what support could look like for your child!🥰
