Hearing loss in children 2 to 4 years old

Assess changes in your child's behavior that might indicate a hearing loss. Compare present behavior with past behavior.

Does your child:

  • Follow two requests, such as "Get the ball and put it on the table?"
  • Continue to notice sounds, such as a telephone ringing, television sounds, or knocking at the door?
