Patient's question:
The two-month-old baby seems not to hear when called. But when sleeping, sometimes he jumps when answering loudly. Sometimes when talking to him, he talks back and laughs. His hearing passed when discharged from the hospital.Doctor's answer:
Does the child have a premature birth? Was there choking or high jaundice at birth? Has the child been hospitalized in the intensive care unit after birth? The questions I asked are all about high-risk factors for hearing loss. If not, don't worry too much. Wait until the child is between 28 and 42 days old to go to the hospital for a hearing re-screening. Before going for the hearing recheck, try to avoid the child vomiting milk and prevent the child from catching a cold. Feed the child while holding them upright at night, do not let them lie down to eat.
