When Your Child Says “What?” Again and
Again
Children ask “what?” for plenty of reasons.
But when it happens frequently, it may be worth checking their
hearing.
Other signs to look out for can include:
�� Turning one ear toward sound
�� Wanting the television louder
�� Frequently misunderstanding instructions
�� Difficulty following conversations in busy environments
Children may not always recognise or explain when they are
having difficulty hearing.
If you have concerns, a hearing assessment can help
provide clarity and guide the next step.
