Patient's question:
Half a year agoDoctor's answer:
It is believed that neurosensory hearing loss can be helped by various assistive devices. After diagnosis, amplifying hearing aids should be fitted as early as possible (even for a 6-month-old infant). For bilateral sensory neural deafness, both-ear amplifiers can be placed behind the ears or used as in-the-ear hearing aids to achieve maximum hearing and facilitate auditory localization development. Children over the age of two with severe bilateral hearing loss may not fully benefit from the placement of such amplifying hearing aids and may be more suitable for cochlear implantation. Regardless of whether the deafness is congenital or acquired, cochlear implantation can lead to auditory communication in many severely deaf children, but it seems to be more effective for those who have already developed language skills. Children with deafness after meningitis may develop inner ear ossification, and they must undergo cochlear implantation as early as possible to achieve the best results. Stimulation electrodes implanted in the brainstem can help children with deafness caused by tumor destruction of the auditory nerve.
