Because of heredity, congenital development, illness when the mother is pregnant, etc., it can cause deafness in children, and what are the causes of deafness in children?

Acoustic bridge hearing aid experts answer, the reasons for deafness:

1, 掏 ear: When giving your child an ear, it is easy to puncture the tympanic membrane deep in the ear canal of the child, causing the tympanic membrane to rupture and directly affecting hearing.

2, drug poisoning: Many children with hearing impairment are caused by improper use of streptomycin, gentamicin, small normycin, neomycin and other drugs.

3, trauma: When the child is naughty, some parents violently give the child a few slaps. The firecrackers suddenly explode in the ear, and the ear hits the water surface during swimming. The above external force will cause the tympanic membrane to rupture and cause hearing loss.

4, noise: Long-term listening to the Walkman often makes the child’s hearing decline without any perception.

5, perioral lesions: lesions around the organs of the ear, such as sinusitis, rhinitis, tonsillitis, etc., sometimes involving the middle ear cavity, causing hearing loss.

6, otitis media: acute and chronic suppurative otitis media, causing hearing loss in children.

Early symptoms of young children with deafness:

After the child is born, usually the parents only pay attention to the child’s fat and thin, and often ignore the child’s appearance can not see the hearing. In fact, as long as you have certain common sense, it is not difficult to find your child’s hearing impairment early.

When the child is born, he can hear the sound. At this time, although they will not respond actively, they can produce subconscious reflexes under the stimulation of sound. For example, in a quiet environment, when he hits the palm in his ear or suddenly closes the door, he will instinctively appear the shaking of the limbs, the closure of the eyelids, and the change of the breathing rhythm. This phenomenon will last from birth to three months. If the child is not responding to a loud voice after birth, you should consider whether there is a hearing problem, which may be a symptom of deafness.

After four months of age, the child has the ability to actively seek out sound sources. At this time, outside the child’s line of sight, given a certain level of acoustic stimulation, he will use his eyes or turn his head to find. When I am a year old, I will understand some simple language sounds, such as coming, hugging, goodbye, etc. If you are older, you will imitate the adults to say some simple words. By the time you reach the age of one and a half, you will correctly point out your facial features or items that you are familiar with according to the language instructions. I can understand simple language when I am two years old.

Parents have repeatedly and carefully observed that if the child’s reaction does not match at any age, they should be suspicious of whether the child has hearing impairment. Professional hearing testers are required to conduct further tests or tests to determine if the child has hearing loss.

What are the initial symptoms of a little older children with deafness?

1, when the child reaches the age of speech, he will not speak or the pronunciation is ambiguous, and some will only be called simple “dad” and “mother”.

2, often notice that others are saying hello to themselves.

3 can’t talk to others while reading, reading, writing, thinking about problems.

4, often talks face to face or ask the other person to repeat, often misunderstand the other party’s semantics. I am used to leaning my head to one side (asymmetry of both ears). When listening to others, I always listen to the ear or always answer the phone with one ear…

5, often close your hands behind your ears, increase the effect of receiving volume.

6, watching TV or listening to the radio is significantly louder than the family asks.

7, children have a lively personality, suddenly a period of emotional irritability, love to catch the ears, do not like to talk, should attract the attention of parents.

Deafness has a great impact on the child’s life. If the child has symptoms of deafness, he/she needs to consult a professional doctor for medical treatment in time, otherwise the hearing cannot be recovered. If the treatment is delayed, it will cause serious damage to the hearing and even cause complete deafness. If it is found to be a very severe deafness, it is extremely important to wear a hearing aid or surgically implant a cochlear implant as early as possible for auditory language rehabilitation.
