Patient's question:
Please provide the location carefully and check the ABR bilaterally 109.6 dB HL stimulation did not cause V wave generation, implement hearing screening which has not passed since. Aware of 4 months. Previous treatment and outcomes: The doctor's conclusion is: grade 3 epilepsy, there are two solutions, either equipped with hearing aids, or to perform a cochlear implant surgery at 1.5 years old. What kind of assistance: The above condition was checked at Hangzhou Deaf Children Rehabilitation Center. I want to know how competent this center is, how correct the solutions are, and whether there are better ways to resolve it. Are there better examination and treatment institutions in Shanghai or other places? I hope all the doctors can help me solve the problem. Sincerely thank you.Doctor's answer:
Based on your main complaint and the detailed examination results of your child; a diagnosis can be established. Recommendations: If there is a recurrence of brainstem-induced localization examination ABR bilaterally 109.6 dB HL, where the sound failed to elicit a V wave, this result can confirm a diagnosis of level 3 epilepsy. To stabilize this symptom, the use of hearing aids should not be employed. To undergo a cochlear implant surgery would be beneficial, as it can assist the child in creating their own auditory nerve. The use of hearing aids may lead to a decline in hearing and nerve function, potentially causing lifelong disabilities.
