March 3 is World Hearing Day!
Preventable and treatable causes of hearing loss are widely prevalent in children.
Common signs to lookout for include:
- Frequently asking you to repeat
- Struggling with attention or school performance
- Complains of ear pain or has ear discharge
- Shows delayed speech and language development
Left unaddressed, the hearing loss progresses and worsens over time. Early identification and care are crucial to prevent long-term impacts on development, education, and future opportunities.
Dubuque ENT's Hearing department is proud to support the Dubuque community by providing routine ear and hearing screenings for children of all ages.
