Maximizing Outcomes for Children with Auditory Disorders: What are Children Hearing in the Classroom?

Why is assessing auditory functioning important? Hearing is a complex function. It is not safe to assume that a child has normal hearing or normal speech perception. A child may respond to some sounds but not hear other sounds. If they are missing critical information it will interfere with learning. A child needs to be able to understand speech in both quiet and in noise. A child may be fine when it is quiet, but when they are at a distance from the person who is talking or when there is competing noise, this child may have problems.
