What causes hearing loss in children?

Acquired hearing loss can have a variety of causes, such as loud noise damage, inflammation caused by water in the ear, viral infections, and some deafness-causing drug poisoning.

Acquired hearing loss refers to hearing loss that occurs after birth or in early childhood.

Common causes of acquired hearing loss include, but are not limited to:

1.Otitis media or other infections: Chronic otitis media, measles, meningitis, encephalitis and other infectious diseases can cause damage to the hearing nerves or the nerve circuits that supply hearing, causing hearing loss.

2.Noise: Long-term exposure to high-sound environments, such as factories or rock 'n' roll**, can cause damage to the auditory nerve, causing hearing loss.

3.Medications: Long-term overdose of certain medications, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics, can damage the auditory nerve and cause hearing loss.

4.Head trauma: Hearing loss can also occur from a blow to the head such as a blow or fall.

5.Congenital ear malformations: Structural malformations of the ear present at birth (such as atresia of the ear canal, malformations of the inner ear, etc.) can affect the transmission of sound signals, resulting in hearing loss.

Of course, these reasons are only part of it, and the reasons for the loss of acquired efforts are complex and need to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If you have symptoms of hearing loss, seek medical attention as soon as possible to be examined and diagnosed by a medical professional to determine the specific cause of your symptoms and get promptly** and manage them.

Children's hearing loss can have many negative effects on their learning, social, and behavioral development, including the following:

1.Learning difficulties: Hearing is a cornerstone of language and communication development. When children are hearing impaired, they may have difficulty understanding what the teacher is teaching, leading to a decline in academic performance.

2.Social problems: Children often need communication and interaction to develop social skills. Hearing loss or impairment may prevent them from actively participating in class and other social activities.

3.Emotional problems: Hearing and movement disorder may affect children's emotional and behavioral development. Children may feel introverted, anxious, lonely, and insecure, leading to difficult relationship problems with their family, friends, and teachers.

4.Delayed language development: In the first year, children must be exposed to a rich language environment and listen to the correct pronunciation patterns in order to start language development smoothly.

Hearing loss can delay a child's language development, leaving them with language abilities that are not matched in preschool, preschool, and middle age.

Overall, hearing loss may have a negative impact on children's self-confidence and self-identity, so parents need to be more observant to detect and help their children solve hearing problems as early as possible, and appropriate interventions may be required and regular hearing check-ups may be required.

Hearing loss can occur at any age. About 1,800 to 1,000 newborns have severe and extreme hearing loss at birth, and 2,300 times as many as have slightly lower hearing loss, including mild to moderate, bilateral or unilateral hearing loss. In childhood, another 2,1000 to 3,1000 children have acquired moderate to severe progressive or permanent hearing loss, and many adolescents are at risk of sensorineural hearing loss due to overexposure to noise or head injury.

Hearing impairment can lead to lifelong impairment of a child's receptive language and verbal expression skills. The severity of the disorder is determined by several factors: the age at which the hearing loss occurred; The nature of hearing loss--- its duration, frequency of impairment, degree of loss and susceptibility to each child (including co-existing viral impairment, mental retardation, basic language deficits), precise evaluation of hearing--- frequency of impairment, loss of air and bone conduction--- are available and are not affected by age and degree of impairment (see Section 256 Audiometry for Children).

In children with sensorineural hearing loss, the additional burden of conductive hearing loss can severely impair the ability to discriminate between speech. Hearing loss affects children with other sensory, language, and cognitive deficits more severely than other able-bodied children.

There are many possibilities, and it is recommended to go to the hospital for a check-up and analyze the cause.
