1. Feeding – half sitting priority
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
The baby’s ears are divided into three parts: the outer ear, the middle ear and the inner ear. At ordinary times, the eustachian tube at the outlet of the nasopharynx is compressed by surrounding tissues and is in a closed state. However, when the baby swallows, chews, sneezes or cries, in order to maintain the balance of air pressure inside and outside the middle ear, the eustachian tube will open instantly. As the baby’s ears are not yet fully developed, the eustachian tube is still relatively short, and the position is low and straight. If you hold the baby horizontally for feeding, let him lie on his back and eat milk, the mouth of the milk bottle is too large, the bottle is too straight, etc., it is easy to cause the baby to choke milk, make the milk flow into the middle ear along the eustachian tube, and induce otitis media.

The correct feeding posture is:

If the baby is sitting for feeding, the baby should be held in the arms, so that the baby is in a half sitting position, and the leg on which the baby’s upper body rests can be padded higher with a small stool; if the baby is lying on the side for feeding, the mother should support the baby’s upper body and head with her arms to get the most appropriate angle.

2. Clean up the earwax and find a doctor
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Some parents may find it troublesome to run to the hospital for such a small matter, so they get it for the baby. In fact, it’s dangerous. First, because there is no professional equipment in the general family, parents can only follow the feeling, which is easy to cause local damage; second, because many babies haven’t learned to cooperate, they may move around; third, once in the ear digging process, they accidentally have external impact, such as others accidentally touch the mother’s hand, etc., which may pierce the tympanic membrane and affect the baby’s listening Power.

Expert advice

If there are too many earwax, which has formed a ball and is put into the ear like a plug (cerumen), do not solve it by yourself. Take the baby to the hospital and ask the doctor for help to clean it up.

3. After respiratory tract infection, observe whether the baby has ear discomfort
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Cold, laryngitis and when the baby has respiratory tract infection, the pathogenic bacteria are very easy to enter the middle ear through the eustachian tube, causing otitis media. However, this kind of acute otitis media usually occurs 7 to 10 days after a cold, so it is easy to be ignored by parents.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Respiratory infection don’t be careless
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
After the symptoms of respiratory tract infection have disappeared, parents also need to pay attention to whether the baby shows the symptoms of otitis media. In addition, the best way to avoid otitis media in children is to prevent the cold or shorten the cold cycle as much as possible.

4. Try not to fly when your baby has a cold or otitis media
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
When the baby is in good physical condition, there is usually no big problem in flying. In the process of taking off and landing, the baby can reduce the pressure of the ear by sucking or pacifying the pacifier.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Cold, no; otitis media, no
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
But when your baby has a cold and otitis media, it’s best not to fly. Because the eustachian tube is in a state of edema at this time, it will increase the pressure on the ear.

5. Be careful of pathological jaundice
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Pathological high concentration jaundice can penetrate into brain cells through blood brain barrier, inhibit oxygen consumption, inhibit oxidative phosphorylation reaction, and damage nerve function. Medical research shows that the auditory system is the first to suffer from the damage of nervous system function caused by high concentration of bilirubin.
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Early detection, early intervention and early treatment
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
The nervous system damage caused by bilirubin in the early stage is temporary and reversible, and it can generally return to normal after treatment. However, if high concentration jaundice is not treated in time, it can develop into permanent nervous system damage, which is manifested as hearing loss, chorea, hand and foot movement, mental retardation, etc. Therefore, when the baby has jaundice, it is necessary to find a neonatal specialist to identify, in order to prevent injury to the baby’s ears.

6. Don’t let fetal education hear bad little ears
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
One part of the causes of hearing loss is heredity, while the other part is caused by acquired environment, such as drugs, infections, toxic substances, environmental pollution, etc. noise pollution is also an important reason.

Proper prenatal education
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
Although some studies have proved that music has certain benefits in stimulating the development of the fetus, the right music fetal education should be chosen after 3 months of pregnancy, in a large space environment, not too close to the fetus. In the choice of music, we should choose light music with soft and slow rhythm, such as symphony with large rhythm fluctuation, especially rock music, disco music and other stimulating music, which are not suitable for pregnant women and fetus. Some pregnant women directly place the speaker of the speaker on the abdominal wall, while the fetus is always floating in the mother’s body. If the fetal ear canal is right next to the mother’s abdominal wall at this time, the sound wave enters the mother’s body, and the fetal ear canal is directly stimulated by the high-frequency sound, it is very easy to damage the cochlea and auditory nerve of the fetus, causing hearing loss.

7. Protect ears from second-hand smoke
< P style = "color:; font family: Arial, Verdana, sans serif;" >
In recent years, scientists have found that cigarette smoke is an important cause of exudative otitis media in children aged 0-6. This is because the harmful substances in the cigarette smoke have a direct stimulating effect on the delicate middle ear mucosa of the baby. It increases and thickens the mucus of the middle ear endocrine, and also makes the eustachian tube unobstructed, resulting in the middle ear effusion and hearing loss. For a long time, the thick liquid can cause adhesion of tympanic membrane and conductive hearing loss. And suffer from this kind of disease unlike suffer from suppurative otitis media so painful, purulent, often not easy to cause the attention of parents and delay the treatment. Therefore, in order to avoid damage to the baby’s hearing function, the baby’s caregiver should not smoke, at least not in the area where the baby often moves.
