You may not realize your child is struggling with either vision or hearing issues for years, and often neither would they. Problems with their vision and their hearing can affect their ability to succeed in school and can affect their health in the long term. It's why regular hearing and vision testing can really help, and you can learn much more by reaching out directly to Dr. Dawn Polly and Dr. Eugene Golding of Express Pediatric Care in Greenville, SC.
When Are Hearing and Vision Screenings Recommended?
Both vision and hearing screenings are typically recommended at specific milestones during your child's wellness checks. But if either you or their doctor recognize any issues an earlier screening may be recommended. In either case, these are typically performed during one of your child's wellness checkups.
What Are the Benefits of Early Vision Screenings?
An early vision screening can prevent any problems your child may have in school due to poor vision. Very often children are unable to realize just how lacking their vision may be until it starts to affect their grades or their ability to take part in team sports. Early treatment can ensure a better quality of life, not just in school but in their everyday life.
What Are the Benefits of Early Hearing Screenings?
A lot of the same things apply to the benefits of early hearing screenings, namely a better quality of life for your child. Untreated hearing disorders can negatively impact their speech and language development, as well as other long-term effects into adulthood.
