Why My Kid Can't Hear

When my daughter shouts at me, I often wonder if her hearing is impaired. She tends to speak loudly and listen poorly. So we tried out this free online hearing test from Phonak, a hearing aide manufacturer based in Zurich, Switzerland. Nope. She can hear alright. I suppose it's selective hearing of the tween variety that causes temporary comprehension loss. They say it has something to do with their brain sealing. All that connectivity shuts out Mom's voice I suppose.
