Patient's question:
A few days ago, I took the baby to the children's hospital for a check-up. The doctor used the hearing aid to test the baby's hearing, but it didn't pass. He also said that the baby's ear canals are small. What should I do if the newborn hearing screening fails on the left ear?Doctor's answer:
It is recommended to closely observe children's reactions to various sounds on a daily basis. At the same time, it is best to avoid exposing children to noise. Use ototoxic drugs with caution. Avoid children from catching colds and head injuries. Most importantly, it is essential to go to the hospital for follow-up examinations on schedule. The vast majority of children will eventually have normal hearing. Even if hearing impairment is detected during the examination, with early treatment and intervention, children will ultimately integrate into mainstream society.
