Patient's question:
When the child was four days old, the hearing screening showed that the right ear passed, but the left ear did not. At the 42-day follow-up, both ears failed the test. At 46 days, the child was examined at Beijing Children's Hospital, where the results showed that no responses were elicited in both ears for TEOAE across all frequencies, except for 0.75 kHz and 1.0 kHz, where responses were elicited. The doctor said the child was very likely to have congenital deafness. At home, the child reacts to any sound and can hear very faint noises. The child is now less than two months old.Doctor's answer:
Hello, the occurrence of three instances of failing the check is considered to be congenital. Congenital deafness refers to deafness caused by abnormalities during the mother's pregnancy, delivery process, or genetic factors. It is mostly sensorineural deafness. Childhood hearing impairment has a significant impact on the patient, and it is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment at a specialized hospital under the guidance of a doctor. Daily exercise is appropriate, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
