Patient's question:
Doctor, my son is 6 years old. Recently, I found that his right ear has very poor hearing, and he only uses his left ear to answer phone calls. He went to a children's hospital for a check-up, but after the doctor examined his external auditory canal, they asked him to undergo a series of tests (the left ear passed the tests, but there were issues with the right ear, but the doctor didn't tell us exactly where the problem was because there was still a frequency test to be done). Now, tests like tympanometry and brainstem auditory evoked potential have all been done, but the "multifrequency steady-state auditory response" couldn't be completed because the child didn't fall asleep after taking medication, so it has been repeated several times. We are worried that taking too much medication is not good, so we would like to ask the doctor, if the "Doctor's answer:
According to your description of your baby's condition, it should be a problem with the tympanic membrane and the ossicular chain. Advice: I suggest you undergo a multi-frequency steady-state auditory response test to identify the true cause. If there are issues with the test, early treatment is essential. Do not miss the best opportunity for treatment. Doctor's inquiry: Do you have a history of trauma? How long has it been?
