Question

How to Treat Hearing Impairment in Children?

Answer

Six months ago, the loss of neural hearing could be helped by hearing aids, and it is recommended to install and use amplifying hearing aids as soon as possible to achieve maximum hearing. For children with bilateral sensory neural hearing loss, placing a dual-ear amplifier behind the ear or using an in-the-ear hearing aid can maximize hearing and develop auditory localization. Children over 2 years old with severe bilateral hearing loss are suitable for cochlear implantation. Whether deafness is congenital or acquired, cochlear implantation can lead to auditory communication in many severely deaf children. Implanting brainstem stimulation electrodes can help children with hearing loss caused by tumor damage to the auditory nerve.
