The hearing has enormous implications for people’s development, more than many might think. Good hearing will allow the sounds and situations related to these sounds to be recognized. An example is the horn of a car; when listening to it, you know that a car is nearby and that you must be careful before crossing the street.
Hearing is directly related to language development; language is one of a human being’s essential qualities. Through this, people can express their thoughts. Through language, culture is spread and is a necessary way to develop learning.
Language develops from the moment of birth, and for this, the sounds are essential. Children must hear a word clearly and then learn it. If this does not happen, the language process will take a little longer than usual. It is vital for hearing problems to be detected before children start their school years. Otherwise, reading and writing skills will be affected, and their ability to relate to others.
That’s why each of the senses should be stimulated appropriately; the earlier this stimulation, the better since the brain is in total development. It is essential to keep in mind that it is not heard with the ears.; the brain carries out this process. According to this, it is crucial to enhance hearing in children, whether they have perfect hearing or hearing impairment.
