What parents want to know most when a child has hearing loss

Understanding what parents of children want to know and are most concerned about is the premise of hearing practitioners' conduct of children's **, and it is also the key to gaining parents' trust and striving for language training cooperation.

1.What causes hearing loss?

Hearing loss is caused by the most important questions parents want to know. In fact, only about half of all hearing-impaired children have hearing loss that can be detected**.

Although preconception screening has greatly reduced the number of congenital causes of hearing loss, it is still not possible to know about some children with hearing loss,** which is confusing and sometimes worrying for many years.

Some parents really feel: "We want our child to grow up healthy and do our best for him." But when this unfortunate thing happens, we don't even know how it happens.

I think about whether I was negligent in taking care of my child, but I can't remember ......”

2.How to get back to a positive mindset?

A child's hearing loss can be a major blow that is difficult to repair for most families. Studies have shown that a child with moderate hearing loss, like a child with severe hearing loss, needs long-term auditory intervention and speech** before they can listen and speak.

Whether a child is diagnosed with moderate or severe hearing loss, the level of shock and emotional damage to the family is the same. Some parents reported that if the hearing care professional could fully understand their mood and give more emotional support and comfort, then the child's speech process would be relatively smooth.

Therefore, it is important to understand how parents feel when they learn of the diagnosis.

Or the compensation of the hearing and the later speech ** and after-sales.

Whether the child has any treatment, whether it can be cured, what causes the hearing loss, and what should be done in the future to improve the hearing.

Colds are a common thing for babies, because the baby's body resistance is poor, even if there is careful care from parents, or it is inevitable to get sick. When the baby has a cold, it is difficult to blow the nose, many mothers prefer to use two fingers to blow vigorously on both sides of the baby's nose, although this method will blow out some runny nose, but it leaves damage to the baby's ears. This form of blowing nose can easily lead to baby ear inflammation, and in severe cases, it can also harm the baby's English hearing.

I firmly believe that every mother has had the hardship of giving the baby medicine, because the medicine has its own bad smell, the baby is unacceptable, the mother often runs around the baby in the house, and it takes three or four hours to feed the medicine. There is also a large part of the mother's traditional idea of forcing the child to give the drug, pinching the baby's nose and feeding the medicine into the mouth, this method may not only choke the baby, but also very likely to put the medicine into the ear, causing a variety of ear diseases.

There are many mothers who feel that they have rich experience in daily life, and when their babies are sick, they rely on their work experience to give their babies medicine. Keep in mind that the baby's liver and other human organs are not growing and developing soundly, and many medicines cannot be digested, especially some antibiotic drugs, which will cause the baby to be poisoned if you take too much, and will also be accompanied by ear whining and hearing damage. Therefore, if you find out that your child is sick, remember not to take the medicine casually.

Most parents believe that everyone has the habit of picking their children's ears, and they are worried that a large amount of earwax will block the inside of the ears and cause hearing damage to their babies. In fact, earwax does not need to be deliberately picked at all, and when it is done in a certain amount, it will be discharged with everyone's body movement. And frequent ear picking not only has no benefit, but also damages the baby's ear holes, allowing germs to take advantage of the weakness.

It is important to remember that the baby's English hearing damage is irreversible, and it is important to avoid this behavior in daily life and protect the baby's ears from damage at all times.

The home is too loud, the living environment is too noisy, etc., these will seriously damage the child's hearing.

There are several behaviors that affect children's hearing, often pick the baby's ears, the wrong way to pick the ears, may cause otitis externa, pinch the baby's nose and fill the medicine, lie down and let the baby drink milk.

Children's ears are more sensitive, and some bad behaviors of parents are very easy to hurt children's hearing, once damaged, it will not only lead to hearing impairment, but also will produce language development delay, endangering children's brain development. If you want to maintain your child's hearing, parents must pay attention to the following things! When children are very young, parents are often required to hold them in their arms.

Some parents are naturally high-voiced, and when communicating with others, they often do not control it, even if they find that their children have been frightened, they simply reassure them. I don't even realize that this is actually harming my baby's hearing. Children are in the arms of their parents, and they are quite close to each other, and even if the sound is small, it can easily reach the child's ears.

1. Pick your child's ears often.

There are some "obsessive-compulsive" mothers, usually make sure to clean the baby's earwax before stopping. But the inside of the ear is not randomly digged, the baby's ear hole is soft, once the ear digging operation error, resulting in damage to the ear drum, it will cause the baby's hearing to decrease. In fact, earwax is just not good-looking.

An appropriate amount of earwax can protect your baby's hearing, filter out external noise, and block the entry of external dust. So parents don't often pick out their baby's ears!

Second, apply mobile phone headphones to your baby too early.

The baby's ears and human organs are in the process of development, are still very sensitive, if the application of mobile phone headphones too early, or often in the noise environment, it is easy to make the child's ears hurt, endangering the baby's hearing organs. Experts believe that the application of mobile phone headphones to a child needs to wait until he is nine years old, and it is not suitable to precede this time.

3. Breastfeeding while lying down.

In a state of fatigue, Bao mother likes to lie down to feed the baby breast milk, this kind of breastfeeding position is easy to make the baby choke, breast milk regurgitates into the ear, causing otitis in the air, and promoting the baby's hearing damage. Therefore, mothers should stop lying down and breastfeeding their children often!

Fourth, slap the child.

They all feel that "hitting people is not a slap in the face", children do something wrong, parents can beat the board, but don't slap their faces. If the amplitude is not well grasped, it will lead to the expansion of the standard air pressure in the ear canal, resulting in ear perforation, which will cause serious damage to the child's hearing. In addition to slapping, the practice of pinching the inside of the child's ear must also be avoided.

Parents use headphones too early, or often in a noisy environment, which is easy to make children's ears hurt and damage the baby's hearing organs. It is slowly harming the child's hearing.

Frequently pluck the ears of children Some "obsessive-compulsive disorder" mothers usually have to dig out the baby's earwax cleanly before stopping. But the ears can not be covered with teasing is casually pulled, the baby's ear canal is delicate, once the ears are not properly operated to guess, resulting in eardrum damage.

What behaviors can harm hearing?

1. Smoking. The nicotine in cigarettes will follow the blood circulation into the body, resulting in spasm of small blood vessels, increasing the viscosity of the blood, and easily hardening the arterioles of the inner ear, resulting in insufficient blood and oxygen supply, and eventually damage to hearing and even induce deafness. The carbon monoxide contained in cigarettes can also cause some damage to the vestibular ganglia and spiral ganglia, affecting people's auditory nerves.

You must find ways to quit smoking and control the amount of cigarettes you smoke.

2. Abuse of antibiotics.

Antibiotics can indeed kill some harmful bacteria, but they can also cause some damage to good bacteria. Some people will blindly choose antibiotics once they suffer from the disease, but it will cause certain damage to the inner ear and vestibule of the cochlea, and even cause intraauricular pressure balance and deafness.

3. Pick your ears indiscriminately.

Some people have the habit of picking their ears, but this will cause damage to the external auditory canal, so that bacteria can take advantage of the weakness to enter the ear canal, the external auditory canal is very delicate and tightly connected to the perichondrium, there is less subcutaneous tissue, local blood circulation is relatively poor, and the wrong way to pick the ear will cause damage or infection to the external auditory canal, thereby causing inflammation and ulceration of the external auditory canal. In fact, a small amount of earwax is excreted through jaw movement or running. If you have a large piece of induration earwax, you should choose a regular hospital and ask for help from a doctor, and you can't dig it out by yourself.

If the itching is unbearable, you can use a cotton swab to gently wipe it.

Prepare the right headphones for your phone in advance.

There are a lot of children who like **, but there are quite a few people in the middle, Hongbo loves to listen to ** in the form of wearing headphones, because this can devote yourself to the scene, the listening effect will be better. However, there are many headphone brands on the market loss, which are inevitably uneven, if the child listens to the Bluetooth headset that is not suitable and non-compliant, it is likely that his hearing will be infringed after a long time. Therefore, it is recommended that parents must prepare a special headset for children for their children, because such mobile phone headphones are designed for children, and it also contains a volume controller, and the volume is in the appropriate range from beginning to end, and will not cause damage to the child's hearing at all.

Turn down the volume. In addition to listening to ** with headphones, some talented children will also play ** indoors and outdoors, and then they will dance along**. But when the child puts ** outside, he will always turn the sound of the speaker up very loudly, because this can increase the rhythm of **, and to a certain extent, it can also improve his joy of dancing.

However, this practice is obviously wrong, it will seriously affect the child's hearing, and the long-term exposure to a high-decibel living environment is not conducive to his physical and mental health. Therefore, in order to better care for children's hearing, parents must reduce the sound of the speaker, and it is best to keep it at 55 sound bels. And in addition to this, parents do not often have to take their children to some noisy places, such as drama theaters, building construction, etc., but you should keep in mind.

It is strictly forbidden for children to listen to rock music**.

As we all know, there are many types of **, such as rock**, jazz**, and rural**. However, parents must not let their children be exposed to rock music and heavy metals too early**, because some studies have found that young people who often listen to these two types of ** are prone to ear whining, hearing loss and other auditory system diseases, so parents must prohibit their children from listening to this type of **.

The first point is not to let the child go to a loud place to move, the second point is not to make a loud noise next to the child's ears, and the third point is to keep the child away from the noisy place.

To protect the baby's hearing, parents must provide their children with a very quiet and comfortable environment, avoid noise pollution, don't always turn on the sound of the TV very loudly, and don't always go to the house to make a big noise in Mingbi.

If you want to protect your baby's hearing, you must not let your baby be in a noisy environment and not make loud noises in your baby's ear.

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.
