Children with hearing instruments
Why hearing is important
Children need all of their senses to discover and experience the world. Hearing is not only mandatory for a
proper speech and language acquisition, but also has a
major influence on a child’s mental, social and emotional
development.
First hearing instruments
If your baby receives its first hearing instruments, they
will be in the beginning considered as foreign objects. It is
absolutely normal that the child will pull out the hearing
instruments every once in a while, as it is curious and will
possibly examine them very carefully.
Give your child some time to get used to the hearing
instruments and to feel the benefit in wearing them.
If it does not accept them, do not enforce wearing the
hearing instruments but try to provide them consistently.
Nevertheless, always keep in mind that if a child does not
accept his or her hearing instruments over a longer period
of time, this might also have other reasons. Contact your
Hearing Care Professional to check the child’s hearing as
well as the hearing instrument fitting and performance.
For further information on hearing, hearing loss and
hearing instruments for children, please check out our
Pediatric Website on
http://www.hearing-siemens.com.

the AutoPhone magnet, enclosed in your hearing instrument package, and attach it to the telephone receiver to
activate the AutoPhone function.
Consult your Hearing Care Professional to find out if this
accessory is right for your hearing care needs.
