Now You Listen Hear

Your Mouth Is Moving. There’S Sound Coming Out. So Why Is Your Child Not Hearing You? Kate Sidley Knows – They’Re Just Not Listening!

A friend of mine recently took her seven-year-old son to the doctor to have his ears examined. The poor child’s hearing was deteriorating rapidly and she was very worried. She was expecting a pea or a giant ball of wax to emerge, but nope, the ears looked fine. Convinced there must be a deeper problem, she took him to the audiologist. The kid goes into the little booth and presses the button when he hears the beeps and the audiologist makes notes. Result? Perfect hearing.

But you guessed that, right? Because you have kids. And anyone who has kids has wondered whether they can actually hear you when you speak.
