Question
My baby underwent a hearing test at 48 days old. The left ear showed no waves under a 132dB (pespl) stimulus, while the right ear exhibited I, III, and V waves at 111dB. The latency and inter-wave periods were normal, but there were no waves at 99dB. Does this situation indicate that the baby is deaf? Is there still a possibility of recovery?
Answer
Hello, infants with congenital hearing impairment should receive intervention treatment as soon as possible to minimize the impact on language development. There is currently no effective treatment method, but through appropriate intervention and rehabilitation training, their hearing ability and language expression can be improved. It is recommended that parents take their child to a specialized hospital for consultation and treatment under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, precautions should be taken to prevent heat-related issues, maintain the baby’s health, and hope for a quick recovery.
