Question
The child has been scratching their ears for no apparent reason lately. Please advise on what to do if a 3-year-old fails the hearing screening?
Answer
The described hearing impairment situation is usually due to neurological or organic changes, such as otitis media or central nervous system hearing loss. Chinese medicine, such as the Zuo Ci Ear-Deafness Pill, can be used for treatment, and in severe cases, hearing aids may be considered. Hearing impairments in young children can pose significant harm to patients, so it is recommended that parents take their children to a specialized clinic for timely diagnosis and treatment under a doctor’s guidance. In daily life, it is advised to drink plenty of water, pay attention to diet, and hope the child can recover as soon as possible!
