Treatment options will be based on the type, severity and frequency of your child\u2019s hearing loss. A pediatric hearing aid doctor will offer treatment guidelines after learning about your child\u2019s medical history and doing a complete hearing assessment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Hearing Aid Styles<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"alignright size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1280\" height=\"852\" src=\"https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-492985838-1280x852.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-393\" srcset=\"https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-492985838-1280x852.jpg 1280w, https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-492985838-768x511.jpg 768w, https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-492985838-1536x1022.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/hearingaidreno.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/iStock-492985838.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1280px) 100vw, 1280px\" \/><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>There are several styles of hearing aids for adults, but children are typically fitted with <a href=\"https:\/\/www.babyhearing.org\/devices\/types-of-hearing-aids\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Behind The Ear (BTE)<\/a> hearing aids.

While these hearing aids may not be as effective, they are appealing due to their cosmetics and comfort.
