Add a heading The first stage of listening is DETECTION. This is being able to hear that a sound is present and also know when the sound is absent. This stage is important for audiologists so they can see what a child is hearing or not hearing to assist in programming hearing technology.
There are many different things we can do at home to help support this stage.
Add a heading Call attention to sounds and point to your ear. Say "I hear it!" Describe what you are hearing. "I hear Rover barking outside."
Add a heading Play with noisemakers. This helps children understand that noise can start and stop. Add in words to describe the sounds: loud, soft, fast, slow.
Add a heading Electronic toys that make noise can show cause and effect with sound. You can say "I hear it." You can also turn it OFF and say "I don't hear it."
Add a heading Putting food in (well-sealed ) plastic containers is a fun way to make your own noisemakers. It's great to have one with nothing in it to show "I don't hear it"
Practice all kinds of sounds- know that sometimes soft sounds and whispers can draw as much attention as louder sounds.
Add a heading Go on a listening walk with your child through the house or neighborhood. Point out and talk about the sounds you hear.
