Friendly PSA just in case: people with hearing aids / cochlear implants don't stop being deaf, they're not a 'fix'. HAs/CIs are great tools

but too many parents don't understand that the kids need access to visual language as well as oral. Also listening fatigue is very real, >

most people (kids & adults) won't want to wear their devices 100% of the time; it's important not to force kids (or expect adults) to do so.

As I understand it, hearing aids work because the kid already had hearing, it was just shitty low-quality. So kid already knows what's 1/?

It depends, quite often they'll try HAs first to see if they help (audiograms tell you the absolute hearing loss but no two people will >
