Patient's question:
The child has had otitis media and had tubes placed in their ears about half a year ago. Recently, they have had some coughing, but it's only mild. However, it has been noticed that when speaking to them, sometimes it feels as if they don't hear or understand clearly.Doctor's answer:
Hearing impairment is divided into three types: neural, conductive, and mixed. Due to different causes and specific conditions, the treatment methods also vary. Therefore, for your current situation, it is necessary to go to the hospital early for an ear endoscopy examination to identify the cause before symptomatic treatment can be administered.
