Patient's question:
The baby was born two months premature. At 40 days, a thorough examination revealed brain damage and high muscle tone. After three rounds of intravenous fluids and massage therapy, the muscle tone is still a bit high. However, a recent check has found that when a bell is shaken near the baby's ear, he does not turn toward the sound. Is there a hearing problem?Doctor's answer:
Hello: Your baby has a history of prematurity, slightly high muscle tone, and now it has been found that the baby does not follow the direction of the bell. Suspected hearing problem. Advice: Full-term babies usually start following the direction of the bell quickly at three months. Due to your baby's history of prematurity, it may take a little longer. Please wait and see. The above is advice on the question "That bell shakes, he will never follow the sound to both sides." I hope it helps you. Wish you health!
