Fluctuating hearing loss is a form of hearing loss that changes over time and can impact a child\u2019s development, particularly speech and language skills.<\/a> It can be caused by conductive or sensorineural issues and can worsen over time. It\u2019s important for parents and educators to understand the signs to help aid a child.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fluctuating hearing loss<\/a> has several causes, including ear infections, continued exposure to loud noises, ear wax buildup, autoimmune inner ear disease (AIED) and M\u00e9ni\u00e8re\u2019s disease. Successive ear infections can impact a child\u2019s hearing for an extended period, and hearing tests can have fluctuating results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If parents or teachers think a child could be experiencing fluctuating hearing loss, early intervention<\/a> is important. There are symptom management options to assist a child, so it\u2019s helpful to contact a hearing specialist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you observe that your child may be struggling to hear during their play dates at Carpenter Park, then understanding the causes and treatment options is the best way to support the management of the condition. Early detection can help support the child\u2019s development and overall well-being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For questions or to schedule an appointment, contact Sharp Hearing – The Audiology Center<\/span>.<\/p>\n\n\n\nImpacts of Fluctuating Hearing Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n
