A member asked:
7yr old says he doesn't hear me or dad until we are yelling, i could there be a hearing problem or is he so engrossed that he just tunes out?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes and yes: He may be hard of hearing or he may be tuning you guys out. It matters whether he is able to hear other sounds without difficulty. Children around this age can also be so engrossed by the task at hand that other stimuli are ignored. Schools also have a yearly hearing screen that looks for substantial hearing loss. If you are very worried, an otolaryngology or audiology consultation is indicated.

Either: From the information provided, there might or might not be a true hearing problem. A formal hearing test (comprehensive audiogram) may be helpful.
