Question
At 8 a.m. that morning, while the newborn was napping, a sudden explosion of firecrackers echoed from downstairs, waking the baby with several loud bangs. I quickly covered his ears with my hand, and throughout the entire fireworks display, the baby did not cry, as if he was completely startled. After the firecrackers, he fell asleep again. I want to know if such loud firecracker noises can harm the baby’s ears? How can I self-check at home?
Answer
Since the firecracker noises were far away from the baby, there was no interference with the eardrum, and you can rest assured. When self-checking, usually wait until the baby wakes up and softly call out to see if there is any response. Additionally, this situation mainly leads to excessive startling in the baby. If the baby shows symptoms of sleeplessness or other signs of excessive startling again, take oral Baozhen Dan under the guidance of a local doctor, and combine it with pediatric massage therapy. Wishing you a pleasant mood.
