What to do if your baby is deaf? Methods for treating deafness

The ear is an important organ for people to receive external sound information. Some children may become deaf for some reasons, which is very detrimental to the baby's growth and development, especially psychological development, as it will make the child develop an introverted personality. So what is the treatment for baby's deafness?

1: Although sensorineural hearing loss cannot be completely cured, patients must not give up treatment, especially children with this disease. Children still have a long life ahead of them and giving up treatment means that they will live their entire lives in a world without sound. If not treated in time, the patient can easily develop a withdrawn, negative and irritable personality, and to a certain extent it will also affect the brain's reaction speed. Some patients may not be able to accept that they will commit suicide. How a reasonable treatment plan can restore hearing to a certain extent.

2: For children with sensorineural hearing loss, hearing aids can be used first to help them hear sounds, and then combined with the more effective auditory language training to help awaken the sounds. Auditory language training mainly trains patients to learn pronunciation or speech by maximizing the use of their residual hearing and combining other sensory organs. This method is usually used in preschool.

3: Patients with sensorineural hearing loss must maintain a cheerful and optimistic attitude. The patient's family should also pay attention to him in time and not give up on him. For children, parents must be especially careful not to stimulate them, and pay special attention to their diet and daily life, such as ensuring that the children's living environment is clean, quiet, and comfortable, and urging them to develop good work and rest habits and ensure adequate sleep. Pay attention to protecting your child's ear hygiene and avoid external injuries to the ears.

1: Avoid accidental injuries. Parents should prevent small objects such as beans and small beads from rolling into the ear canal, which may cause damage and infection to the external auditory canal mucosa. Similarly, you should avoid using hairpins, ear spoons and other tools to pick children's ears to prevent traumatic perforation of the eardrum and deafness.

2: Prevent middle ear infection. When a baby spits up or chokes on milk, bacteria can easily enter the middle ear through the Eustachian tube. When breastfeeding, the baby should be held up and in a semi-recumbent position to prevent the baby from swallowing too late and causing milk to accidentally enter the Eustachian tube; when feeding with a bottle, the bottle should not be held too high and the nipple hole should not be too large. In addition, when showering, washing your child's hair, or taking your child swimming, be sure not to let dirty water get into their ears.

3: Actively prevent and control infectious diseases. Infectious diseases such as measles, meningitis, and Japanese encephalitis may damage the auditory organs and cause hearing impairment. Infectious disease vaccines should be received on time, and children with acute or chronic otitis media should receive prompt and thorough treatment to avoid future complications.

4: Avoid noise pollution. The auditory organs of infants are not yet fully developed, and loud sound stimulation will damage the tender auditory organs. Children should be taken to entertainment venues such as dance halls as little as possible, and the volume of audio equipment in home theaters should also be appropriately controlled.

5: Be wary of drug-induced deafness. Sensorineural hearing loss is often caused by drug poisoning, so be cautious when using drugs such as streptomycin, gentamicin, and kanamycin.

It is best to eat more light foods during this period, and try to eat less fried or greasy foods.
