[|AI|]  You need to first check the hearing of your child. Please consult an ENT specialist and get a play audiometry and ERA test done. With the reports the ENT SPL can tell you whether hearing aids would be of use. In the meantime start speech therapy sessions and also consult a developmental pediatrician to assess whether the child has any difficulty in communication skills. Bangalore has quite a few good centers for such problems St Johns hospital being one of them.
