60 | How Do You Know if Your Child with Cochlear Implants or Hearing Aids Can Hear You?

A few of our facebook group members have asked some really great questions recently, and one of those questions is, “knowing if my child can hear me or not?” 
 
That’s a question that I get asked a lot. How do I know that my deaf or hard of hearing child is hearing me, and do I know if my child is understanding me?
 
Hearing and understanding are two totally different skills, but they both work together to build the foundation of learning a language. Today we’re going to talk about the difference between hearing and understanding and how you can check for hearing and understanding with your child.

59 | Create a Smoothe Bedtime Routine Tonight with Your Child with Cochlear Implants or Hearing Aids

One of our Raising Deaf Kids Facebook group members said, “Currently, we are struggling at bedtime and waking up without his CI.”
 
Bedtime can be a little difficult with kids with cochlear implants or hearing aids because they typically don’t sleep with these on, and so if your child wakes in the middle of the night or isn’t easy to get to sleep, they can’t hear you in the process of it all.
 
And this is all happening at the time of the day where everyone is the most tired and cranky! The last thing we need are cranky pants moms and kids! Today we’re going to talk about how to make the bedtime routine a little more smooth for your deaf or hard of hearing child who wears cochlear implants or hearing aids.
