Signs of Problems in Speech, Language, and Hearing Development
Children develop speech, language, and hearing skills at different ages. However, hearing loss can lead to delays in your child's ability to make sounds, learn to speak and communicate.

  • No response to sound at any age.
  • Infant does not move or jump when a loud sound is made.
  • No babbling by the time the infant is 9 months old.
  • No words spoken by the age of 18 to 24 months.
  • Does not follow simple commands by 2 years old.
