Episode 2 – Wait and see or maximise hearing

In the second episode of Little ears, big challenges: navigating mild and unilateral deafness in children, we talk to parents about their decision making processes around technologies and other management options for their children, and whether they chose to wait and see or maximise hearing. There isn't clear evidence about what works for mild and unilateral deafness, so this can make decisions difficult. They also tell us about whether they challenged the professionals looking after their child, or sought a second opinion, and about any technology their child uses. Listen in as we continue the conversation. Transcription link: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/ear/episode-2-wait-and-see-or-maximise-hearing
