Five million children and teens aged 6 to 19 in the U.S. (1 in 10) have hearing loss, and many more are at risk due to unsafe noise exposure, according to The American Speech-Language-Hearing Association.
That’s why this year’s World Hearing Day theme, "From communities to classrooms: hearing care for all children” is so important. If you’re the parent of a child with hearing loss, you can find resources and support from HLAA at: hearingloss.org/parents
