How To Treat And Manage Pendred Syndrome

Learn Communication Skills Early

Language acquisition can be fairly challenging for individuals who are born deaf or already have severe hearing loss in childhood. It is easier for children to learn various languages and communication skills when they are younger, so it is a good idea to learn communication skills as early as possible. Parents should both speak and sign to their children from an early age. Encourage children to talk as much as possible, so they can more easily speak when their ability to hear changes. It may be helpful for patients to work with a speech-language pathologist who can provide tips for communicating with hearing loss. These types of language skills are very important because it will be easier for a child to cope with hearing loss if they already have alternative methods in place. This will reduce quite a lot of frustration later in life.
