Question
The child, who is three months old, underwent an ABR test, which indicated that no clear ABR V wave was elicited in the left ear at a signal intensity of 132dB (equivalent to 97dB HL), and a response was only obtained in the right ear at 125dB. Inquiry about the possibility of treatment and where to seek medical attention, thank you.
Answer
It is recommended to undergo the following examinations: Otoacoustic Emissions (OAE), Stapedius Reflex (1000Hz stimulation), Auditory Brainstem Response (ABR), Behavioral Audiometry, and Auditory Steady-State Response (ASSR). The doctor will formulate the examination plan based on the situation of the hospital. Before the diagnosis is confirmed, it is not recommended to use medication for treatment or hearing aids. Since I have not seen the patient in person, the above opinions are for reference only and do not constitute any treatment plan.
