A failed hearing test in children can be caused by various reasons, including congenital hearing loss or ear canal blockage. How should parents understand this result and what measures can be taken to promote hearing development?
For infants who fail the 42-day hearing test, parents can consider re-testing at 3 months.
For newborns with abnormal hearing tests, even if there is an observed auditory response later, it is still recommended to undergo further hearing examination. This is because early determination of hearing status is crucial for language development and future educational planning. Even if the child seems to have hearing now, a professional hearing test can provide a more accurate diagnosis and determine whether any intervention or treatment is needed. In addition, regular hearing tests are key to preventing and early detection of hearing problems.
A two-month-old infant passed the hearing test, but the parents are concerned about potential hearing issues.
The baby is one month old, and the genetic test shows a positive tonsillitis gene. The hearing test, conducted 10 days after birth, passed. What does this mean?
If a newborn fails the hearing test, it may be due to the presence of amniotic fluid, vernix caseosa, and other residues in the external auditory canal and middle ear cavity. It is recommended to seek medical attention promptly for examination and cleaning, and to take daily precautions against heat stroke to promote recovery.
