Sign of Problems in Speech, Hearing, and Language Development
It is important to remember that 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. Consult your child's physician if you are concerned about your child's hearing or speech, or if you notice any of the following:- no response to sound at any age
- no movement or "startling" when a loud sound is made
- no babbling by the time the infant is nine months old
- no words spoken by the age of 18 to 24 months
- no following simple commands by two years old
- stuttering continues past five years old
