Every family wants their children to be healthy, so in the first few days of their birth, they will undergo a comprehensive examination to test their health condition. And listening to the test is a more important part. But some children may encounter some problems during the examination, leaving parents helpless. Why is there a genetic mutation in the hearing gene test?
Why is there a genetic mutation in the hearing gene test
The vast majority of patients with large vestibular aqueduct syndrome are caused by carrying SLC26A4 double allele mutations. These children often have good hearing at birth, but gradually lose hearing in both ears after birth. Most children reach severe hearing loss in both ears within a few years and need to undergo cochlear implantation surgery to restore hearing.
Head impact, intense exercise, and movements that increase abdominal pressure such as coughing, holding breath, sit ups, etc. can cause sudden increases in intracranial pressure, leading to sudden hearing loss or even complete deafness in both ears. Therefore, it is advisable to avoid these situations as much as possible in order to delay the worsening of deafness.
Why do we need to check our listening skills
After giving birth, if parents want to know if their child is healthy, they need to take their child to the hospital for a comprehensive examination. People carrying deafness genes may give birth to children with hereditary deafness. Hereditary deafness is a disease caused by carrying one or several deafness genes. To ensure the health status of children, it is very important to undergo hearing tests.
Normal hearing allows us to experience many delicious things from the outside world, such as music, and how people communicate through speech. Children born in hospitals will enjoy comprehensive examinations, and listening to the tests is also a very important part of it. But there may also be some reasons for children to have genetic mutations.
