As parents, hearing impairment in babies can be very urgent and bring many negative impacts. These negative impacts can cause great pressure on babies and also affect family life. What should I do if my baby has hearing impairment?
1. Wear hearing aids early on
Patients can wear hearing aids while their hearing is still developing. By utilizing some of their hearing and providing language training, some children with hearing impairments can become deaf without becoming mute, allowing them to communicate with their peers as much as possible.
2. Artificial cochlear implant
If a child's hearing is poor or hearing aids have little effect, it is necessary to give them a cochlear implant. Traditional cochlear surgery has a relatively large incision and can cause many complications. Minimally invasive cochlear implants can be performed, which have smaller incisions and less pain for children. At the same time, recovery is also faster.
3. Cooperate with good auditory training
In order for children to achieve hearing and language recovery, in addition to using hearing aids and cochlear implants, postoperative rehabilitation training should also be done well, and regular evaluations and appropriate adjustments should be made. This way, the rehabilitation effect can be maximized.
During treatment, do not put too much pressure on the child, otherwise the child will feel different from their peers and their psychology may become insecure. Parents should give more care to children with hearing impairments.
