Children in educational settings will continue to need noise management features for listening comfort and to promote consistent hearing aid use as well as the ability to connect to a RM system. Finally, knowledgeable and caring professionals will always be needed to guide pediatric patients through the turbulent adolescent years as they reconcile their need to hear with their personal feelings about their hearing and hearing aid use.
