Does your child - often say "what" or seem "ignorant"

Do you have to shout or call several times to get your child's attention?

Do you think your child's speech is not clear enough?

Is there anyone in the child's family who has a permanent hearing problem? Has anyone had hearing loss since childhood?

Are you answering "yes" to any of these questions? Then do consult your doctor, who can arrange for your child's hearing to be tested.
