Question:
Answers:
you need to ask an optician about the glasses and an ear, nose and throat specialist about the hearing.
I dont think this website is fully qualified to givea complete diagnosis or fill out a prescription.
how in the hell would we know ...
if he has been told this by a doctor then it sounds like he needs them.
it could be..i mean its possible..not very likely..but ossible..that or the dr has a daughter who just got a license and his insurance rates went up, so he's finding a way to get more money out of people
i had to start wearing hearing aids at about 5, now 16, its completely normal. im 80% deaf and i haventworn them for years. i adaptedto not using them. i wear them on only certain occassions..i.e..exams and interiews>
hope this helps.
Many children need glasses at that age, and hearing aids are totally normal for children with hearing problems at that age. It is a wonderful thing that we can get these things for children. Otherwise, they would not see the world as it is, would have a horrible time trying to learn in school, and miss the sounds of life. My grandson needs both of these things, as well. He is 6 yrs old.
if u tuk him 2 the doctor n his perscripted docotr says he needs em then im afraid he does x
Watch the glasses thing, they will make up a scrip for him 6 months down the line, oh there a little better now, he needs another scrip now, and so on and so on!!
hearing aid? if he doesn't need one in your opinion dont bother as it may lead to bullying, you know what kids are!!
if you have been told by a consultant in opthalmology and by an ent consultant both of whom would have seen used your sons medical records and diagnosis made then it's pretty sure thing he will need these.
it could well be a short term thing maybe a few years, but it could also be a long term if not life long problem its sad that children develope these faults in their sensory areas
but the good news in one way is he is still vary young and will soon become vary adaptble to his situation
he will get lots of help from the paedatricains and from other sources
don't let him know you are worried and afraid for him as his other perceptory factors will soon pick up on your signs like body language
treat him as you would any child of the same age dont wrap him in cotton wool and be at his beck and call you will come to regret it in the long term
let him lead a normal life as possible and encourage him to play with other children of his own age group they will all notice this difference between themselves and himself but just reasssure him he is a wonderful son who you love to the ends of the earth if at a later age bullying starts to uccur get straight onto the school authorities as this will not be tolerated
keep your faith in god my prayers go out to you
and for all the millions of other children who suffer such ailments some far worse than your sons
trust and beleive
if that is what the professionals have said go with it
