If a baby at 13 months old is still unable to produce meaningful language, it may indicate hearing or intellectual development issues.

If a child has a hearing impairment, it’s best to intervene within the first six months to completely restore the child’s hearing and not disrupt the growth and development of language.

The child failed the initial hearing screening. How should I handle this situation?

Parents inquire about possible causes and subsequent treatment after their newborn fails multiple hearing screenings.

Understand the development of newborn hearing and the screening process, as well as the measures to take when hearing re-screening is not passed.

Pediatric hearing impairment may be caused by acquired diseases such as foreign objects in the external auditory canal, cerumen, boils, otitis media, etc. Otitis media in children is particularly prevalent, which can lead to serious intracranial and extracranial complications and even threaten life. Early detection and treatment are essential.
