Can hearing loss affect speech?

My baby has hearing loss in her right ear. Can hearing loss affect speech?

1 Answer

This varies from person to person. Typically speech is not affected by ear ailments and any hearing loss. The nervous system of these organs is separate. The person may repeat herself if she is not sure she was heard by the listener. Word formation remains normal. Rex
