Hi there, I agree with gettings his hearing checked again but I have to add that my son yells when he talks and he is going on 8. I don't think he realises he's doing it it's just he gets so excited that he doesn't check his volume.It does get very loud a lot of the time but we've gotten used to it lol. Maybe teaching him inside voice and outside voice might help.Good Luck.

cheers everyone, really gretful for all your advice,

i had glue ear as a child which wasn't noticed or dealt with for a few years,  i had 30%in one ear and 70% in the other, and have always had probs since, espec when i have a cold, so have always been on top of hearing tests with my 2, but im STILL waiting for his 18month check the hv said she will wait til he's 2 as she'l have to do another one then aswell, which i think is bad to be honest.

will give all advice ago, thanks again

hi, i know it's difficult but try your best to ignore him when he's shouting and give him attention when he talks to you at a reasonable volume. this does work it might drive you mad at first but stick with it. it works for other behaviours too. he is getting attention when he shouts and that is why he does it some children like the negative attention of being told off for doing something as much as any positive attention you give. GOOD LUCK!!

I agree with kellzacar It can't hurt to have the hearring checked just in case.

Hi there,

Shouting at this age can be normal and very frustrating from the parents expecailly as it can go on for months.

HOWEVER - my 7 yr old daughter used to do this and at first like you i just tried talking quietly and making games. But after awile we bagan concerned and took for her hearing tests. WE were told there was nothing wrong.

Sadly they were WRONG, my daughter is stone deaf in her right ear. This was missed by three different hearing clinics. The only true way to have this checked is by a specialist. This is best done by getting a refferal from your lcal doctor.

Good luck . . .  Cheers Kellz

master two keep trying this one out it took a little while a few days of just ignoring him and us playing the whispering game for him to stop ,,, i would also get a second oppion on his hearing just incase

Hi there hes trying out his voice very normal at this age but if he does keep doing it get his ears checked ou cause he may have some problem there and the only reason is to yell cause he might himself well or hes got ringing in his ears that could be affecting.But also he could be one of these children that get excited so yelling comes out it drives u mental though
