Hear for Life: Dr. Joe's Guide to Your Child's Hearing Loss (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615774947)

(Black & White Version) If you have picked up this book, it is likely that your child or someone you know was recently diagnosed with hearing loss. Without a doubt, what you face is serious. However, there is good news: Hearing loss is treatable, and treatment may start at birth. If you want your child to hear and speak and live in a hearing world, then this book is for you. It is extremely important to act quickly once the diagnosis of hearing impairment is made or suspected in a child. The human hearing system develops rapidly from before birth and during the first few years of life. If critical periods of development are missed, no amount of intervention can correct those losses. The age at which the treatment began is the single most important factor in predicting successful treatment of congenital hearing impairment in children. LetThemHear.org
