How to protect the residual hearing of hearing impaired children

First of all, parents should understand what the intensity of some different sounds is, such as the sound of whispering into the ear is about 30-35 decibels, the normal sound is about 60 decibels, if you shout loudly, the sound is about 90 decibels, if you hear the loud sound of the plane taking off, it is about 140 decibels. Generally speaking, hearing loss greater than 60 decibels will have a great impact on speech, so parents should carefully observe the child's hearing condition. For the only little residual hearing is very precious for children, parents must protect their children's residual hearing, specifically pay attention to the following points:

1. Try to avoid children from catching colds and fevers; 2. Pay attention to avoid the child's head.

Because under the current technological situation, this child may need to rely on this little residual hearing to communicate with people in normal society for a long time in the future, so as to integrate into normal society, so you can not let his residual hearing further decline. What if you protect your "residual hearing"? First:

Be sure to be cautious about the use of all ototoxic drugs that can cause hearing loss, and do not use them or replace them as much as possible. Try to prevent otitis media in children as much as possible, some people will doubt that otitis media can be good, why prevent it, anyway, it can be good? However, some otitis media will have a very long cycle, which may take three or six months, which will greatly affect the child's hearing.

Second: cerumen plugging. If there is a large cerumen blockage in the ear, the sound released after wearing the hearing aid is blocked by the cerurum, and his inner ear cannot receive the sound at all, and finally the hearing ** cannot achieve the best effect.

Third: inner ear malformations. Diseases like Great Vestibular Aqueduct Syndrome, Mondini Malformation, Types, and Types, must be prevented from fluctuating intracranial pressure.

For example, hitting him, doing too strenuous exercise, straining in the abdomen, and throwing glue can change his intracranial pressure and cause further hearing loss. Fourth, it is necessary to prevent noise and secondary hearing loss caused by excessive amplification of hearing aids.

If the child's hearing loss itself is relatively severe, the hearing aids are still in a state of excessive amplification, and the parents have to let the child take it for 8 to 12 hours a day, then he will be in a noisy environment for a long time, which is the same as what we call noise-induced hearing loss. His hearing deteriorates every year, and no cause can be found. As shown in the case above, the child could not find out the cause of the annual hearing loss, so we did a real ear test on him, and finally found that the hearing aids he had previously prescribed elsewhere were excessively amplified, and the MPO exceeded his discomfort threshold by nearly 20 decibels.

He was in an environment with noise-induced hearing loss for a long time, and then we adjusted him back. After the adjustment, the child's hearing has not deteriorated since, and the hearing has decreased by 5 10 decibels per year, and the parents are very worried about whether the child needs to have a cochlear implant.

Hearing loss patients are born with a silent or whispered world, the problem of pediatric hearing loss has always been the focus of social attention, this group needs people to pay more care, because children may indirectly cause children's language impairment, affecting their life. However, it does not mean that children with congenital hearing loss will not be able to hear sounds, and some children are better off and generally have residual hearing. Experts remind parents to learn to protect their children's residual hearing.

Preserve residual hearing.

Everyday precautions.

1. Viral infectious diseases need to be prevented.

Some viral infections often cause hearing loss, such as the common cold and measles and mumps, which are more common in children. Deafness caused by viral infections is generally more difficult to treat, especially if the hearing organs are already damaged, and if they are attacked by the virus, their residual hearing may further develop or deteriorate. Therefore, special attention and concern should be paid to the health of children with hearing loss.

Pay attention to proper physical exercise to improve the body's ability to resist disease. Try to avoid contact with people who have a cold. When you find a child with measles or mumps, you should be careful not to let your child come into contact with it to avoid infection.

2. Attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of nasal and pharyngeal diseases.

If you have acute nasopharyngeal diseases, such as acute rhinitis, nasopharyngitis, sinusitis, tonsillitis, or the original nasopharyngeal region has a chronic disease, you should be treated aggressively. Due to the onset of these parts, the inflammation can spread to the eustachian tube in the nasopharynx, causing the obstruction of the eustachian tube, which is not conducive to the balance of air pressure in the middle ear and the excretion of secretions, resulting in the aggravation of the original hearing loss. In particular, parents should be reminded that both nostrils should not blow their nose at the same time, and both nostrils should be blown in turn.

It is important for people with normal hearing to pay attention to the physiological hygiene of the ear, but it is especially important for children with hearing impairment to protect their residual hearing. If noise can damage the hearing of normal people, hearing impaired children after hearing aids are no exception, and even more harmful, more attention should be paid to hearing protection.

The key to the protection of residual hearing in hearing-impaired children is to choose a suitable hearing aid. If hearing aids are commoditized, they are not suitable for them to be worn directly from the store without being fitted by professionals, and they are even a terrible threat to the residual hearing of hearing-impaired children.

In fact, hearing aids are not only a simple amplifier, such as large virtual digital cochlear implant dynamic compression system, wide dynamic compression channel, adaptive orientation system, noise reduction system and spectrum analysis, etc., professionals can choose according to the hearing loss program and audiogram characteristics of hearing-impaired children, as well as hearing aid fitting standards, so as to obtain more satisfactory hearing compensation, even if used in the market noise environment, it will not damage the residual hearing of hearing-impaired children.

Residual hearing is very valuable for hearing-impaired children, and parents must cooperate with doctors to protect their children's residual hearing. Parents need to pay attention to the following aspects: 1. Prevent viral infection from becoming sick.

2. Avoid the use of ototoxic drugs. 3. Actively prevent and sensitize nasopharyngeal diseases. 4. Massage the acupuncture points in front of the tragus every day to help protect residual hearing.

5. Maintain a healthy lifestyle for children, avoid staying up late, stay away from noisy environments, and maintain a good attitude. 6. Regularly recheck your hearing, and seek medical attention in time if you find hearing loss. Hope mine can help you.

Answer: Long-term wearing of hearing aids, exceeding the threshold, will cause hearing threshold shift, slowly lead to hearing loss, this hearing loss aggravation is gradual, the amplitude is very small, and it will take several years, but for young people with hearing loss must pay attention to the hearing aid to bring satisfactory results to the patient, then must also accept the threshold shift.

For first-time infants and toddlers, the importance of follow-up visits must be emphasized to parents, and regular follow-up visits should be repeated to observe for further hearing loss and adjust hearing aid use parameters.

Also suggested:

1. Avoid water or foreign bodies from entering the ear canal to prevent hearing loss caused by ear canal infection.

2. When there is too much earwax, it is not advisable to remove it by yourself, and you should go to the doctor for treatment to avoid losing your hearing again.

3. Long-term contact with various noises such as the roar of the machine, the noise of the workshop, and the noise of human voices will cause the capillaries of the inner ear to often be in a state of spasm, reduce the blood supply to the inner ear, and reduce hearing sharply. Therefore, avoiding or reducing noise interference as much as possible is the first step to protect hearing.

4. Maintain a good psychological state: If you are often in a state of irritability and irritation, it will cause the autonomic nerves in the body to lose their normal regulatory function, resulting in ischemia, edema and hearing impairment in the inner ear organs. This makes it easy to experience hearing loss.

So try to keep yourself in a good mood of being relaxed and happy.

5. Pay attention to medication: try to avoid the use of ototoxic drugs, such as streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, neomycin, etc. These drugs can easily cause ear poisoning and damage to hearing. Patients with neural hearing loss should pay more attention.

6. It is best not to pick your ears: often use ear spoons and matchsticks to pick your ears. It is easy to scratch the ear canal, cause infection and inflammation, and may damage the eardrum. When the ear canal is itchy and unbearable, you can use a cotton swab dipped in a little alcohol or glycerin to gently rub the ear canal.

Chronic poisoning of the auditory system of the ear will cause drug-induced deafness, and patients mostly have deafness and tinnitus as the main symptoms. It often appears within 1-2 weeks after the use of the drug, which is difficult for children to identify, and is mostly manifested as disobedient and unresponsive children, and if it is not detected in time, it will cause bilateral and permanent hearing damage. For children who have not yet spoken, the impact is even more severe.
