Some children may be found to have some defects when they are young, some are congenital defects, and some are acquired. Perhaps some defects are related to genetics. Some families have more than one child, but if both children have disabilities, it is very puzzling. So what is the reason for both children having hearing impairment? Let's take a look together next!
What's going on with both children having hearing impairments
1. Due to genetic factors, expectant mothers should pay attention to pre pregnancy examinations and preventive measures during pregnancy.
2. The mother used ototoxic drugs during pregnancy.
3. Cold and improper blowing of nose can cause suppurative otitis media and viral parotitis, both of which can have an impact on ear hearing.
4. High decibel sounds can easily stimulate the weak but highly precise "sensory receptors" in children's inner ears. Once they are damaged, they can no longer transmit sound to the brain.
How to determine if a child has hearing impairment
1. Babies aged 0-3 months. For sudden loud noises, there is no startled reaction, as if I cannot distinguish your voice. There is no response to noise, music, or talking to others. When he is restless or distressed, if you don't speak to him within his sight, he won't be able to calm down.
2. Babies aged 4-8 months. For sounds outside his line of sight, he does not turn his head or use his eyes to search for the source of the sound. When he is in a quiet environment, if someone suddenly speaks or makes loud noises, his expression remains unchanged, as if he does not like playing hand bells, music rings, or squeezing toys that make sound.
3. Babies aged 9-12 months. When hearing a gentle rustling or booing sound, he does not quickly or directly turn to the source of the sound. When someone calls his name, he does not respond. When babbling, one cannot produce multiple initial consonants and does not respond to listening, dancing, or singing along with music. I don't understand the meaning of "no" as an initial consonant, and after the age of one, I still can't pronounce many initial consonants when speaking.
4. An 18 month old baby. At 18 months old, I can speak no more than 5 words.
5. 2-3 year old babies. Not able to say short sentences of two or three words; Unable to comprehend two consecutive instructions, such as' bring the building blocks and place them on the table ', is mostly due to time, and you cannot understand what he is saying.
By now, everyone should have understood what it means for both children to have hearing impairment! In fact, if both children have hearing impairment, it is likely due to genetic reasons. So parents can check if they have this type of disease or if their family has a history of genetics. Then search for ways to treat it.
