What should I do if I fail the newborn hearing screening?

It is recommended to go to the hospital for regular check-ups.

What is newborn hearing screeningNewborn hearing screening refers to the use of physiological methods to conduct newborn hearing screening, which aims to detect children with hearing impairment as early as possible, implement interventions such as cochlear implants as early as possible, and make their language and intellectual development comparable to their peers. Newborn hearing screening is divided into primary screening and re-screening, and different screening protocols and procedures are used for newborns who are in normal labor and newborns who are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. Normal neonatal primary screening is completed from 48 hours after birth to before discharge, and those who fail or miss the initial screening will be re-screened about 42 days after birth.

If re-screening still fails, referral to a pediatric hearing diagnostic center should be made within 3 months. Deafness is one of the most common birth defects, and it has the highest incidence of several diseases that can be screened. The purpose of hearing screening is to detect hearing loss in newborns at an early stage for diagnosis and medical intervention.

Listening is one of our most important skills. If we can't hear, we can't speak. That's why there is"Ten deaf and nine dumb"said.

Sure enough, the hearing impairment of infants and young children who have been screened can not be found in time, and many parents wait for their children to stop talking at the age of 2-3 before going to the doctor, but the critical period of children's language development is 0-3 years old, and the intervention before the age of 3 has missed the best time to learn the language, and the effect of the intervention is often not as good as when the child is one year old. The quality of hearing in infants and young children is closely related to their future language development, so it is important to identify the hearing function of infants and young children.

You should go to a few more hospitals for a check-up, if the hearing screening has not passed, you can also go to check it again in a few months, maybe the child is too young so it has not passed, if it has not passed in a few months, at this time it is necessary to consider that the child has a disease, if the child has a malformation, at this time you can only choose to have an abortion.

If the situation is not particularly good, you can do surgery, you can also wear professional instruments for your child, and you should usually pluck your child's ears often to avoid debris or water in the ears.

Parents should take their newborn for a check-up to understand the physical health of the newborn, give the best to the child, and understand the child's hearing development.

Take the baby to the hospital for a follow-up, then take a picture of the baby, and then let the doctor take a look at the baby's condition, maybe the baby can be improved by surgery.

The elder should take the newborn for a check-up to understand the physical health of the newborn, and the child to understand the child's hearing development.
