This Sunday, August 9th, Weekly Check-Up Atlanta is joined by Dr. Geoffrey Aaron, a pediatric ENT who will speak about highly relatable parenting topics—ear infections, snoring, tongue ties and hearing concerns—with the perspective that children may be small, but their health challenges are every bit as important as those faced by adults. Listen live every Sunday from 3-5 p.m. on AM 750 and NOW 95.5 FM News/Talk WSB, or stream online at WSBRadio.com.

Dr. Aaron often reminds families that “little people have big problems.” He specializes in caring for children with ear, nose and throat conditions and is passionate about helping parents navigate issues that can significantly impact a child’s development, sleep, communication, and quality of life.

This week on the show, we’ll cover:

1. Ear Tubes: When Are They Really Needed? Parents often assume multiple ear infections automatically mean a child needs ear tubes, but treatment decisions are made case by case.

2. Tonsils: The Evolution of Tonsil Surgery A growing number of children are candidates for intracapsular tonsillectomy, which offers several advantages over traditional approaches.

3. Tongue Ties: Understanding the Increase in Diagnoses Tongue ties have become a significant topic of discussion among parents and healthcare providers.

4. Hearing Loss & Cochlear Implants Early detection can dramatically change a child’s developmental trajectory.
