She has hear only loudly sound due to this she has not been develop her speech. She has been regularly used from 3 years hearing Aid & speech therapy, but the result is not satisfactory. Please advice me if any medicine or treatment of her deafness be cure. Thanks & regards. Ravi Mittal. E-mail address - YYYY@YYYY Mobile No. 0000. Doctor: sir,thank u fr contacting us.1. hearing loss in your child is >95 db(appx) which amounts to severe to profound sensorineural hearing loss2. hearing aids & speech therapy have to be started at the earliest for such children which would help in the normal development of speech as the child grows,and here as u say it has not helped much ,which means she needs the next line of treatment i.e  cognitive implants which will help in this case3.Get to see an ent doctor at the earliest regarding implants and collaborate with a speech and hearing specialist as well,so that both can work together dont get disheartened,it will be fine...just get to a ent doctor soon without delay,as any further delay can delay speech development in the childregards,dr.sowmya
