Hi all,

Have you ever wondered how to explain hearing loss and deafness to children?

Ever since I was younger, other hearing children couldn’t help but stare at my hearing aids and also anyone new who I met, often didn’t know what hearing loss was and I’ve always found it a bit difficult to explain.

Now that I’m older and I’ve worked with children, I’ve found ways which I can explain to them about what deafness is.

Here’s my latest Phonak blog:

‘10 easy tips to explain hearing loss to children’

I hope this will help deaf people out there to explain such a complex thing in a simple way!

Have you got any ways that you describe your hearing loss to people?
