The child has a world of Ascend to explore and stay connected. A child’s hearing is so critical for development, even partial hearing loss can result in an impaired ability to speak and acquire language. Hearing aids can be especially helpful for children because their young brains are in a period of rapid development. Ascend input improves development of speech and cognitive functions. Our team makes pediatric hearing services joyful and interactive, and we invite you to be part of the process.
