Patient's question:
Let's wait and see. I'm really worried now! What should we do if the child has auditory problems in the brainstem?Doctor's answer:
The baby failed the hearing screening twice. How old is the child now? When you refer to the hearing test, do you mean the hearing screening or a more detailed test like an auditory brainstem response? Hearing screenings can be affected by factors such as the environment, the child's crying, and earwax. It is recommended that parents have the child undergo an auditory brainstem response test, which is a deeper examination with higher accuracy and can reveal whether there are issues with the neural conduction pathway.
