Patient's question:
Detailed medical history and consultation purpose: 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 history, and outcomes: Yesterday, there was severe right ear moderate-to-severe hearing impairment.
Doctor's answer:
Hello, children with congenital hearing impairment should receive timely intervention and treatment to minimize or prevent damage to their language development, ensuring they can hear but not be mute. Currently, there is no effective treatment available. Childhood hearing impairment poses significant harm to patients, so it is recommended that patients seek timely treatment from specialized medical professionals under the guidance of a doctor. Daily activities can be appropriately engaged in, but attention should be paid to preventing overheating. We hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
