Do all 10 year old boys need hearing aids?

it is a stage most guys go through

Yes it’s a stage. I remember when I went through this same phase when I was 10, a good healthy dose of the wooden spoon to my backside did wonders to suddenly improve my hearing.

Most young children only hear what they want to hear and some adults do the same thing.

It’s a stage that most kids go through, whether they are boys or girls, I know, I’ve had both.

I think selective hearing continues from that time on until death, especially if you get married.

I thought it was a secondary male characteristic–not just an affliction of 10 year olds.

it is the stage he is in and i feel that it doesn’t change boys just have that selective hearing down do to a t

No my boy Tyler here beside me even as I type hears just fine, he just doesn’t WANT to listen to a damn thing I say! “He says, finally somebody gets it”, yes it is a terrible phase indeed.

yes or he’s probably just playing with you

its not a stage its a lifestyle. just slap them in the head thatll get them to listen

Yop are just gearing up for about 8 years of it. Then some day he’ll be calling you for advice and you can tease him about it. Relax. They grow up way too fast. And a swift kick in the **** will help. Ha.

Probably–most people I know have selective hearing-(reminds me of a joke: Hire teenagers, while they still know everything!) Enjoy!

Yes, I think all kids go through this (boys at about 10, girls at about 16)

It will pass-good luck!

probably 98%. he’s in his own myopic world. he’s a *******. nothing matters to him but him.

You think it’s bad now??? Wait until his teen years! The good news is, he’ll grow out of it. Mine did, he’s great now. Good luck.

I don’t have a 10 year old (yet) but at 3 mine has caught on to this ‘problem’ a little early. I’m sure he can hear you just fine. Use an alternate language with him - the silence of no electronic equipment/phone/friends/etc

AKA grounded. He’ll listen or he’ll become a hermit!

Yes, it is a stage they go through. They hear you just fine, they just don’t listen. I **** to say it but judging from my husband I would say that some boys never grow out of it.

Yes, it is only a stage. Just get his attention, you know him best. Once you are for sure you have it, then tell him what you want him to know. Kids also have selective forgetfulness too!!!

Yes they do and if you find a good one let me know!

yes, its a stage. my daughter is nine and going through the same thing. especially when the tv or radio is on. i have to shut them off and make eye contact with her. if i don’t think she heard me then i ask her to repeat what i said. if she can’t then i tell her to listen b/c i’m going to say it again and she will have to repeat what i say. if i have to repeat again then she gets a consequence. 10 mins off tv or early bed… etc. it seems to be working and she tries harder to pay attention. she’s worse when she has friends over and tries to act cool. none of her friends like me because i won’t allow her to disrespect me and even they will get time outs if necessary. i don’t really care if they like me or not. my daughter and her behavior is the one who matters.
sorry this ran on. yes its a phase. put your foot down or the phase will go on forever. lol. it is getting better.

well, as the mother of a 10 yr old, their hearing is fine. they hear what they want to and block out the rest. it is a ‘phase’ and he will out grow it eventually.
