Patient's question:
Boy, 5 years old, with a deformity on the outside of one ear. After examination, it was found that there is no ear piercing and no eye. Is it treatable? Mainly, he has not been able to speak until now. Is this affected by it?Doctor's answer:
If the hearing loss is severe, you should choose high-power or ultra-high-power hearing aids, rather than selecting in-the-ear models for the sake of invisibility and aesthetics. This may result in insufficient hearing compensation due to insufficient power. If your hearing loss is not too severe, you will have a wider range of options, including invisible deep canal models and behind-the-ear models.
