My baby had a hearing test when he/she was 48 days old.

Patient's question:

Detailed medical history and purpose of consultation: My baby had a hearing test at 48 days. The left ear showed 132 dB (PESP) with no waves under stimulation, while the right ear showed 111 dB with I, III, and V waves, normal latency and interwave intervals. Does this mean deafness? Can it be treated?
Medical history: None.
Previous diagnosis, treatment, and outcomes: Yesterday, there was severe right ear moderate-to-severe hearing impairment.

Doctor's answer:

Hello, children with congenital hearing impairment, timely intervention and treatment should be provided to minimize or prevent damage to their language development, ensuring they can hear but not be mute. Currently, there is no effective treatment method.
