What to do if the baby s hearing screening fails and the 42 day re examination fails

1. Initial screening: Hearing screening is carried out within 72 hours after the birth of the baby. For babies who do not pass, they can be re-examined once before discharge.

2. Re-screening: For babies who fail to pass the initial screening, go to the hospital for re-examination on 42 days; 3. Diagnosis (within 3 months): For infants who have not passed the re-screening, a comprehensive audiological diagnosis will be carried out within 3 months, including acoustic impedance, otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem evoked potentials, behavioral audiometry and other related examinations, and the diagnosis will be given.

4. Intervention (within 6 months): 1. Corresponding drugs and surgeries for otitis media, sudden deafness, middle ear deformity, etc.

2. For children with sensorineural deafness, choose and use hearing aids within 6 months. Children with severe or profound deafness who do not respond to hearing aids are given cochlear implants around 1 year of age. 3. **Training:

After wearing hearing aids or implanting cochlear implants, corresponding hearing-language training and family guidance should be carried out to promote the development of hearing and language in deaf children. 5. Follow-up and follow-up: Neonates with high-risk factors for hearing loss should be followed up at least once every 6 months for 3 years, even if they pass hearing screening.

Hello, it is recommended that you re-examine in three months, and if you do not pass, it is recommended that you do a hearing diagnosis.

There is a re-examination every two to three months.

Don't worry, the baby's hearing is not passed, not all of them are unable, to find out first, in time.

It's time to consider wearing hearing aids. The sooner you wear it, the better.

Three days after the birth of the newborn, the hospital will do a hearing screening, and if it does not pass, it will do another hearing screening at the forty-second day.

Due to the sensitivity of hearing screening equipment, the following factors can affect the screening results:

Changes in ambient noise at screening.

How quiet your baby is (e.g., body movements).

Your baby's external auditory canal (e.g., residual amniotic fluid).

There is discharge from the middle ear.

Blocked nose, difficulty breathing, etc.

Domestic and international data show that about 10% of people fail the initial hearing screening (from the third day after birth to before discharge). The chance of failing the initial screening and being diagnosed with hearing problems is only 1% to 3%. Most babies who have "failed the hearing screening" do not have a clear hearing loss problem after a diagnostic hearing test, because there is a discharge from the external auditory canal or middle ear such as residual amniotic fluid, and the hearing will return to normal after the discharge is absorbed or discharged.

2. What should I do if I haven't passed the initial screening?

Those who have not passed the initial hearing screening must go for a hearing re-screening within 42 days.

If the re-screening is passed, congratulations, it is generally considered that the child's hearing is normal. No further testing is required at this time. However, as children grow up, parents are expected to pay attention to their children's response to sounds, or whether they are speaking at the same age as the children around them.

If your child speaks at a different age than his or her peers, he or she will need to go to the hospital to rule out hearing problems.

If you fail the 42-day hearing screening, don't be too alarmed. Even if you fail the re-screening, you have only a 10% chance of being diagnosed with hearing problems.

Babies of different ages will react differently to sounds, such as small babies will make shocks, blink, turn their heads and other reactions. A preliminary judgment can be made by observing some of his usual performances.

It is understandable that parents are anxious and anxious, and if they fail to pass the 42-day screening, their children will have hearing problems. There are some false positives in hearing screening. There are a few things that can lead to hearing screening

There is residual amniotic fluid in the ear, which prevents sound from entering, so the inner ear does not respond.

Fluid in the middle ear, caused by a middle ear infection.

Your baby is moving or there is noise in the surrounding environment during the test.

Observe your child's response to sound at home, and you can compare the child's reaction at the corresponding stage below.
