Patient's question:
My sister has always had poor hearing. After wearing a hearing aid, she can hear more clearly, but it seems like she has become dependent on it. If she doesn't wear it, her hearing is worse than before she started using the hearing aid, and her hearing has also declined. So, I want to ask if there are any side effects to wearing a hearing aid.Doctor's answer:
Hello. Wearing a hearing aid will not cause side effects. The dependence you mentioned is not accurate. It is because the sound is louder after wearing the hearing aid, and when you take it off, you haven't adapted immediately. It is not related to hearing loss or the cause of the condition. As long as the volume is adjusted to an appropriate level and the eardrum is not damaged, there will be no other side effects.Middle ear in children can cause significant harm to patients. It is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from a specialized clinic under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be performed appropriately, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
