“We Thought He Was Ignoring Us.
We Called His Name Again.
And Again.
And Again.
Sometimes, He Looked.
Most Times, He Didn’t.”
Kunal, 3.5 years old, wasn’t deaf.
- He turned when the doorbell rang.
- Ran to the kitchen when the pressure cooker hissed.
- Laughed at his favorite cartoon theme song.
But when his mother said, “Come here.”
Silence.
When his father said, “What’s in your hand?”
Silence.
When his teacher called, “Kunal?”
Nothing.
“He didn’t ignore everything.
He just ignored us.
And that’s what scared us.”
🧠 Hearing ≠ Processing ≠ Responding
At Pinnacle® Raipur, developmental therapists explain:
“Many children on the autism spectrum or with auditory processing delays can hear —
but their brains can’t organize or prioritize sound like typical children.
They may hear your voice — but it doesn’t register as a ‘call to act.’”
Common signs:
- Responds to environmental sounds but not voices
- Doesn’t react to name being called
- Inconsistent response to familiar people
- Gets overwhelmed in noisy environments
- May respond visually (gestures) but not verbally
“It’s not that they’re tuning you out.
They’re drowning in a soundscape that doesn’t filter.”
📞 The Night They Said, “He’s Not Naughty. He’s Lost.”
At a family dinner, Kunal was called five times.
- Didn’t look.
- Didn’t respond.
- Didn’t blink.
But when someone opened a juice bottle —
he ran toward it.
That night, his parents called 9100 181 181.
The counselor said:
“He’s hearing. But he may not be processing you.
Let’s find out why.”
They booked a free AbilityScore©® Auditory Processing Screening.

🤖 How TherapeuticAI©® Helped His Ears Connect With His World
His personalized plan rebuilt sound as meaning — step by step.
- Name-response games with visual reinforcement
- “Sound + Action” pairing drills (e.g., bell → jump, clap → look)
- Eye-contact bridges before giving instructions
- Environmental sound separation (identifying voice from background)
- Parent training: Slow, structured verbal guidance with gesture cues
By week 5:
- Kunal turned when his name was called
- Responded to “Come here” without visual prompts
- Whispered “Yes?” when his teacher said his name softly
“He didn’t become obedient.
He became connected.”
💬 What His parents Want Every Family To Know
“Don’t assume they don’t care.
Don’t assume they don’t hear.
Assume they need help — and give it.
Before silence becomes the story.”
