What are “endonyms”This is a story to help children/students who wear hearing aids understand why they may go to the doctor and/or ENT more often than others. The story can be read for comprehension. It teaches new vocabulary and creates a wonderful language opportunity for students to better advocate for themselves at school, home, and the doctor/ENT office. This story was written with younger children and their families and older students who continue to come to school with blocked hearing aids and do not use an interpreter for language access.Service Activity for EI-ECSE Families & Home VisitsFor any family, this story can be an important conversation starter, or reminder, to understand the language impact of even partially clogged hearing aids for their kid(s) who are not using signs. This can be demonstrated to parents by using a listening tube when their child’s hearing aid is plugged in and cleaned, and then having them listen again to the difference in clarity of language coming through the hearing aid to their child’s brain.Story Printable OptionPrint each two-page spread in landscape mode OR - Print a two-page spread but cut apart pages to show 1 page at a time.
