How To: Keep Hearing Devices on Little Ears All Waking Hours

Any time your baby is awake, remember to keep their hearing devices on.

Your baby’s curious little hands love to explore everything – and that includes their hearing devices. Like many parents, you may feel like you’re putting the devices back on your baby’s ears many times a day.

Remember, your persistence matters and every minute counts! If your baby’s devices fall off or if they take them off, quickly and calmly put the devices back on (no matter how many times it happens!). You could say, "Your amazing brain wants to hear everything!" or even make up a song to the tune of "The Wheels on the Bus." Try singing, "These hearing devices will grow your brain, grow your brain, grow your brain. These hearing devices will grow your brain, allll dayyy long!"
