Pediatric hearing solutions for every age

Hearing aids for children

As parents of children with hearing loss, it is important to understand that children of different ages have different needs, but the need to maximize quantity and quality of sound is important at every age.

Phonak takes a holistic approach to help the social, emotional and cognitive development of children with hearing loss from the moment they begin their hearing journey. Responsive relationships and language-rich experiences for young children help build a strong foundation for later success in school and beyond.1 Our products aim to make the most of every interaction while being easy to use, high performing and reliable solutions at the same time.

Infants and toddlers

“Serve and return” interactions help infants and toddlers navigate the world and grow. When children communicate, what is returned to them through physical, visual and audio cues helps develop and shape their minds. 

Hearing aids for infants and toddlers help maximize these “serve and return” interactions by bringing greater clarity to sounds children make and what they hear in return. These “serve and return” interactions then further develop linguistics skills and strengthen bonds and relationships, growing a child’s understanding of home and outside environments in the process. 

Hearing aids for children, which are designed to be worn all day, help further maximize available “serve and return” interactions, by extending the time sound is available to a child.

Modern classrooms are dynamic and interactive — and ever increasingly so. Once a child begins attending school, their hearing needs become more complex. They must process information in many forms and from many sources. They participate in activities and exercises. They take instruction, respond to questions, socialize and make new friends.

The majority of interactions in school occur verbally, and a great deal of information is presented to children through sound and spoken words. For this reason, hearing loss can be a challenge to a child’s participation, understanding, learning and growth in academic environments.

 

Hearing Care Solution for Children | Phonak 

Hearing aids for school are a vital first step in ascertaining the right hearing solutions for a growing child’s needs. They contribute in school environments in many ways — by increasing independence, bolstering confidence, encouraging interaction, opening new situations and even affecting where children with hearing loss can comfortably sit, go, play and learn.

Though hearing aids are an important key to successful learning, the best hearing solution for a child may be a combination of hearing aids, wireless solutions and accessories. 

Phonak offers a portfolio of hearing aids for children along with a line of related products which open learning environments and improve what is available there.

Teenagers

Teens and young adults face challenges of transition. They move from primary schools to high schools, and from high schools to universities. Many enter the workforce. They bridge the gap between childhood and adulthood in countless ways.

For teens, hearing loss can impact different aspects of their lives, including recreation and sports, confidence, and social activities. Hearing aids help teens with hearing loss stay in the conversation, live in the moment, and hear the world their way.
