Any great toys/books for hearing impaired babies and children?

[mummyruston]

For those who are conversing in the other thread you will already know I have a 7wk old baby boy with severe to profound hearing loss.

I was asked earlier about Christmas presents (I know!!) for my hearing 3.5yo and for my 7wk old.

It got me thinking - are there any fab toys or books for hearing impaired babies and toddlers etc?

We have so many baby toys already like a jumperoo, singing cookie jar, vtech talking teddies etc and lots of puzzles but just wondering if any of you would recommend anything specific or know of a website / supplier etc who supplies toys and books for hearing loss children.

Thanks in advance! X

I've just bought regular toys for DD, but she has normal hearing on one side, so I don't know if that makes any difference.

Here are some!

Hi my son has problems linked with autism so not sure if it's any help but my paediatrician gave me a website for special needs toys which is really good so it might be worth a look https://www.sensorytoywarehouse.com
