1, pending approval
Generally speaking, newborns will be screened by doctors one week after delivery. At this time, if the screening fails, a second screening should be conducted 42 days after birth. Because the cause of neonatal failure is not necessarily hearing loss, it may be false positive results such as amniotic fluid and fetal fat blocking in the auditory canal of newborns, environmental noise interference, middle ear lesions and so on.
2. Diagnostic confirmation
If the second hearing screening still fails, it may be that the child has hearing impairment and should be sent to the hearing impairment diagnosis and treatment institution designated by the provincial health administrative department for further diagnosis. If it is confirmed, measures should be taken as soon as possible so as not to delay the golden age of children's treatment.
3. Active treatment
For children diagnosed with hearing problems, appropriate hearing AIDS can be selected to help them recover their hearing, vibration acoustic bridge surgery can be selected to help them recover their hearing, and cochlear implants can be selected to help them recover their hearing to normal people.
4. Language training
Generally speaking, most children with hearing problems have language barriers. Therefore, after actively taking measures to help restore hearing, we should also find appropriate phonetic institutions to help children pronounce correctly and make them deaf and dumb.
5, warm tips
The brain needs both ears to constantly receive external stimuli to acquire language. If hearing-impaired children are not diagnosed and treated in time, they will lose their ability to socialize and learn. Therefore, for children's hearing problems, it is best to start early intervention within 3 to 6 months after birth, and don't delay language development at the latest.
6. What should I do if my hearing is poor?
1. When listening to songs, keep the volume down. If the listener can't understand people who are at arm's length, or if the listener has ear pain or tinnitus, the sound may be too loud.
2. Use earplugs to protect hearing in nightclubs, discos, bars, sports venues and other noisy places. In places with huge noise, try to stay away from sound sources such as loudspeakers, and stay in quiet places can also reduce contact noise.
3. Limit the use time of personal audio equipment to no more than one hour per day.
4. It is best to use noise-reducing adaptive headphones, so that users can clearly hear the sound with lower volume. Headphones are better than in-ear headphones.
5. If tinnitus occurs, in noisy environments such as restaurants or other social occasions, people who can't hear high-pitched sounds such as doorbell, telephone bell and alarm clock clearly, can't hear others clearly (especially on the phone), or can't keep up with others, and therefore suspect that their hearing is impaired, they should seek the help of hearing care professionals.
6. Conduct regular hearing tests for high-risk groups such as teenagers. Parents need to be role models for their children to protect their hearing.
7. Help children gradually distinguish various sounds, such as walking sound, door opening sound, underwater sound, cooking sound, speaking sound, external noise, human voice, etc.
8. If you are often in a state of impatience and irritability, it will lead to the loss of normal regulation function of autonomic nerves in the body, causing ischemia, edema and hearing loss in the inner ear organs, and it is easy to have a sharp decline in hearing or an outbreak of deafness. So try to keep yourself relaxed and happy.
9. Massage the wind points before and after the earlobe (the depression between the earlobe and the high bone behind the ear) and the hearing points (the depression before and after the tragus and the posterior edge of the mandibular joint process), which can increase the blood circulation of the inner ear and protect hearing. Massage once every morning and evening, 5 ~ 10 minutes each time is appropriate, and long-term persistence will be effective.
10, ototoxic drugs, such as gentamycin, streptomycin, kanamycin, neomycin, etc. , should be avoided as far as possible, because children's detoxification and excretion function is not good, the application of these drugs is likely to cause ototoxicity and damage hearing.
1 1. Take more drugs for tonifying kidney, such as Liuwei Dihuang Pill, Jinkui Shenqi Pill and Guiling Pill, as well as walnut porridge, sesame porridge, peanut porridge and pig kidney porridge. These drugs and food are quite beneficial to protect hearing.
