Question
How should poor hearing in newborns be handled?
Answer
Eardrum damage may cause hearing impairment in newborns, and common treatments include artificial eardrum implantation surgery and the use of hearing aids. For eardrum perforations caused by trauma, if there is no infection and the size of the perforation is small, they typically heal naturally within a month without additional treatment. Due to the rich blood supply around the eardrum, its self-repair ability is strong.
