Review the key points you learned throughout this lesson:

  • Babies with hearing loss need extra practice with hearing before seeing to build connections in their brain for listening.
  • The Hear It Before They See It LSL strategy is an easy way for babies to practice listening before seeing.
  • You can use this strategy in any daily routine by presenting the sound, pausing to observe your baby’s response, and then having a conversation about what you heard.
