Newborn hearing screening failed, do you need to be diagnosed?

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 appeared with this series of conditions, and I am also very worried, afraid that the child will become worse. Please ask if the newborn hearing loss gene screening does not pass, whether it needs to be diagnosed.

Doctor's answer:

Newborn hearing screening has not been heard of. After 45 days, the hospital will notify you of a follow-up visit. If it still fails, it can basically be diagnosed. You need to go to the hospital for a comprehensive hearing test to determine the child's hearing loss. After diagnosis, the doctor will provide intervention methods based on the child's condition, such as wearing hearing aids or getting a cochlear implant.
The child is troubled by newborn diseases, so parents must take the child to the hospital for immediate medical treatment to avoid various misunderstandings and to receive timely symptomatic treatment. For parents, it is essential to give the child enough care and attention and to do everything possible to help the child receive timely medical treatment.
