Can hearing aids affect speech?
Ashley90 asked:
I have recently met a girl who has needed hearing aids since she was 2 or 3. She had an operation that caused her to loose her hearing. She has them in both ears, as I assume her hearing is pretty bad. Her mind seems fully developed through text and e-mail chats but when i met her in person her speech wasn’t to great. She talked like she was mentally challenged. Can hearing out of hearing aids pretty much your whole life affect your speech that much?

yes, speech and hearing pretty much go hand in hand. to be able to pronouce words correctly and efficently your mind has to be able to physically hear yourself speak the word to know if its right or if your brain needs to correct it. thats why when you have headphones on and your talking you seem to talk louder without really knowing it until someone tells you, its your body’s way of making sure your saying things right and when you can’t hear your brain may have the right word but it has no way of knowing its pronoucned correct. she may be smart and developed but if she can’t hear her words they will sound messed up.
