What should I do if I fail a hearing test in my newborn?

<> newborn babies are usually given a series of tests after birth, which are often tedious but necessary, whether it is for the child's vision, hearing or other development. As long as it is under normal circumstances, it will generally pass this series of examinations, but there are also accidents, so what should I do if the newborn baby fails the hearing test?

The hearing test is a quick and non-invasive examination when the baby is sleeping naturally or relatively quiet, the hearing of normal newborns is about 2 percent, if the first and second checks have not been checked, they need to go to the hospital in time to check the brainstem evoked potential test.

In fact, hearing examination is very necessary for infants, because it can determine their brain and hearing development, if parents just want to fool the test, it is very unnecessary, because this is a test that is more beneficial to the baby, not fooling the test can be successful, because the disease will continue to attack.

Under normal circumstances, there will be no problems with hearing screening, but it is inevitable that there will be temporary mistakes, such as the child's condition is not suitable for screening, and there may be mistakes, so it is best to conduct a second review after a period of time, which will generally pass, if it does not pass, it may be a hearing or brain problem, and it needs to be trained and further processed.

Check to see if there is anything like amniotic fluid in your baby's ears, and it's a good idea to check it again after a week.

Children who fail the re-screening should be examined by an audiological testing institution for otolaryngology, acoustic impedance, otoacoustic emissions, auditory brainstem evoked potential detection, behavioral audiometry and other related examinations, and if necessary, medical and imaging evaluations should be performed to make a diagnosis.

Infants and young children with high-risk factors for hearing loss should have an individualized hearing reassessment time and frequency based on the status of possible late-onset hearing loss. Children who have been screened but have high-risk factors should have hearing follow-up every six months for at least 3 years of age, and if hearing loss is suspected, an audiological evaluation should be performed.
