[. . . ] It is absolutely normal that the child will pull out the hearing instruments every once in a while, as it is curious and will possibly examine them very carefully. Give your child some time to get used to the hearing instruments and to feel the benefit in wearing them. If it does not accept them, do not enforce wearing the hearing instruments but try to provide them consistently. Nevertheless, always keep in mind that if a child does not accept his or her hearing instruments over a longer period of time, this might also have other reasons.
