Could inattention in your child actually be hearing loss? Children with unaddressed hearing issues are often labelled as disruptive or inattentive. Before any diagnosis of ADHD, it is important that other factors or undiagnosed conditions that might be responsible for inattention are eliminated. For example, a child might have ongoing middle-ear infections causing hearing problems. A simple hearing check can rule this out and make sure your child receives the right intervention to help them thrive in and out of the classroom.
