C&D Speech Therapy's new blog reminds parents about the importance of children's hearing

ESSEX, U.K. - Oct. 28, 2013 - PRLog -- Children that can’t hear well can often have speech difficulties as well. While this seems self-evident, C&D Speech Therapy, in the new blog posting “Hearing Speech”, also point out that sometimes children are unable to hear certain frequencies, making comprehension difficult and causing speech difficulties as a result. The blog posting is available on their website at http://www.cdspeechtherapy.co.uk/hearing-speech/.

“Having a child’s hearing tested is an important part of beginning speech therapy. There are several reasons for speech concerns caused by hearing. Loss of a specific range in their hearing or persistent glue ear can often cause speech difficulties, but the hearing issue is harder to detect.” – Lizzy Davis, C&D Speech Therapy

At C&D Speech Therapy, the therapists will often look at hearing before they begin working on speech. If hearing is missing at a specific frequency, the therapists at C&D can help a child and their parents work around the concern while a more permanent medical solution is found by the child’s physician. At all times, the therapists at C&D work with the child, the parents and medical professionals to find the best speech solutions for the child.

“Very often, once a hearing difficulty is discovered, speech therapy can have very rapid and permanent results. We find that after a hearing problem is dealt with, our patients improve quickly.” – Cassie Carabott, C&D Speech Therapy
