What should be done if a baby’s hearing screening results are not passed?

It is recommended to observe the child’s response to various sounds, avoid noise, be cautious with ototoxic drugs, prevent colds and head injuries, and have regular check-ups. Most children will eventually have normal hearing. Even if there is a hearing impairment during the screening, early treatment and intervention can help the child eventually integrate into mainstream society.

For newborns whose hearing screening does not pass, it is recommended that parents temporarily observe the baby’s response to sounds, avoid noise and ototoxic drugs, prevent colds and head injuries, and make timely hospital visits for follow-up. Most children will eventually have normal hearing.
