Patient's question:
My baby is a premature child, and I was very worried about the child's condition from the beginning. Recently, the child has had a series of issues, and I am very concerned, fearing that the child's condition may worsen. Could you please explain why the child gets startled by loud noises?Doctor's answer:
Baby hearing tests are divided into two types: subjective tests and objective tests. Newborn hearing tests are usually objective tests, which are related to test conditions and the baby's current state. Sometimes, although the test is not passed, the baby's hearing is not a problem. It is recommended to have a brainstem auditory evoked potential test at the hospital and then visit an otolaryngology department.Children are affected by newborn diseases, so parents must take their children to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings. Timely symptomatic treatment is necessary. For parents, it is important to pay attention to the child's condition and do their best to help the child receive timely treatment for the disease.
