The hearing problem, called con­ ductive hearing loas, often cornea with colds, earaches and allergies-all so prevalent during these busy summer months. The Easter Seal society urges parents to have their children's hearing checked often during the pre­ school years. In children with otherwise normal intelligence, an undetected or untreated hearing problem can result in poor school achievement, language and learning. Such children may also have poor social skills. More than half of all children experience some level of conductive hearing loss at least once by the age of 3. The Easter Seal society advises parents to be alert for a poasible learning disability if their child: ...has significant delays in speech and language development. ...is easily distracted. iii'J ,•.!.) lbiiPu^ ...has a short attention span. ...has to be told something many times. ...often reverses words in a sen­ tence. Fortunately, conductive hearing loaa can be detected easily and prevented from causing a learning disability with a machine called a tympanometer, recently purchaaed by the Easter Seal society through a fund-raising drive spearheadedhy the Woodstock Kiwanis. > Testing is simple and painlees and can be done in less than a minute with children as young as seven months. The Easter Seal society for McHenry county will be conducting free hearing testing twice in August. For more information about con­ ductive hearing loss, and its effect on learning, and testing locations in August, contact the Easter Seal Society for McHenry County, at 708 Waahington in Woodstock, or phone 815-338-1707. They will work clooely with the child's physician in diagnosing and treating hearing problems. 'Toddle' Programs Offered Two special outdoor programs for parents and their pre-school children are scheduled in MCCD sites this summer..

A 20-minute walk on trails is followed by a craft activity to make a simple take-home item. Starting at 10 a.m. the Toddles offer a good chance for moms and dads to get out of the house with little ones for awhile, to learn and enjoy a local conservation site, and still be home for their tod­ dler's nap time. The summer Toddle schedule is July 21 at Hickory Grove Con­ servation site, and Aug. 18 at Beck's Woods Conservation site. Children in the 5-10 year old range are welcome too.
