Question

My child is 11 years old and recently discovered that one ear has decreased hearing, while the other ear is almost inaudible. I don’t know what to do.

Answer

Further examination of the type of hearing loss is required. If diagnosed with sensorineural hearing loss, hearing aids may be needed to improve hearing. Currently, there is no effective treatment for sensorineural hearing loss.“Dealing with Hearing Loss in Children” [“Otorhinolaryngology”, “Hearing Issues”]“pediatric-81381-dealing-with-hearing-loss-in-children” “Children with decreased hearing need further examination and assessment of treatment plans.” “pediatric-81381” false“posts” [“FAQ”] [“Otorhinolaryngology”]
