Patient's question:
Today I went to the hospital and the doctor checked the baby. The baby initially didn't wake up, but later woke up. The doctor said my baby didn't pass. What kind of reaction should the baby have to pass the hearing screening? What are the standards for newborn hearing screening? What should I do if the baby doesn't pass the hearing screening?Doctor's answer:
It's hard to say how to deal with this issue. Generally, the instrument shows that it has passed. Don't worry. Amniotic fluid may enter the ear, but it will go away after some time. It is recommended to closely observe the child's response to various sounds on a daily basis, while also avoiding exposure to noise as much as possible. Use ototoxic drugs with caution, and prevent the child from catching a cold or suffering from head injuries. Most importantly, it is essential to go to the hospital for follow-up checks on time. The vast majority of children will eventually have normal hearing. Even if there is a hearing impairment during the examination, with early treatment and intervention, children will ultimately integrate into mainstream society.
