Patient's question:
The child was born only a few days ago, and recently, for some unknown reason, they have been scratching their ears frequently. I was wondering what to do if the baby fails the hearing test.Doctor's answer:
Hello, failing the hearing screening does not necessarily mean the child has a hearing problem. It could be due to reasons such as retained amniotic fluid, vernix caseosa, or fetal residue in the external ear canal and middle ear cavity, which may cause the hearing test to fail. Hearing impairment in children has a significant impact on patients, so it is recommended that the patient seek timely treatment at a specialized medical facility 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!
