Ok, Ok, I know.. they hear you, but are they listening? Well, sometimes, maybe they can’t hear you as well as you think.

Lots of kids do things that can hurt their hearing, whether they’re aware of it or not. Listening to a radio too loudly, especially with headphones on, or being around someone using power tools, or even concerts!

Rayovac supports healthy hearing and wants you to make sure to take the proper steps to protect y children’s hearing. Below are some ways that you can prevent hearing loss in little ones!

• It is important to get children’s hearing tested at a young age because it allows you the time to start treatment.  The later hearing loss is identified the more likely the child is to develop impairment of speech, language and learning.

• Common indications for hearing evaluation include:

• Frequent or recurrent ear infections
• Poor School performance
• Child doesn’t respond to his or her name consistently
• Child ask for words, phrases, or sentences to be repeated.

• Monitor the volumes of children’s portable music players.  New warnings have been issued that state these music players may be damaging in your hearing if they are not used properly.  Listening at too high volumes for too long of periods, could lead to noise-induced hearing loss that occurs over time.
