How to judge the hearing of infants

As the saying goes, “ten deaf and nine dumb”, is mainly because once the hearing is impaired, you can’t hear or hear the words clearly, and you can’t learn to speak, and you become dumb. Therefore, deaf and dumb are often connected. However, it has been proved that as long as hearing compensation and listening language training are carried out as early as possible for children with hearing impairment, the vast majority of deaf children can walk out of the silent world, speak and learn and move together with sound children. The key is “early”, because the most important period of learning to speak is before the age of four. In order to achieve early compensation of hearing (with hearing aids) and early training, it is necessary to make early detection and early diagnosis.

In most cases, children’s hearing problems are found by their parents or other members of the family, but some parents lack this knowledge. When a child reaches the age when he should speak, he will not speak. Some of them think it is “late to speak” and have to wait. Some of them are unwilling to admit that their child is deaf, even have fantasies, and expect miracles, so that they miss the best time to learn to speak.

A child with normal hearing will respond to sounds or sudden sounds, such as blinking, a few days after birth.

A few weeks later, a soft, sweet voice will make him quiet.

At three months, the eye will turn to the light source.

At six months, the head will turn to the sound source.

When you are one year old, you can respond to simple words spoken by adults.

L. infants with normal hearing begin to learn English at six months.

L ﹣ two years old to start the first word.

I can speak short sentences of two words from 18 months to 2 years old.

The hearing impaired children will not follow the above process. The voice of the deaf baby at birth gradually decreases from six months to two years old. Therefore, as long as the parents or adopters carefully observe, they can judge the hearing status of the child.

The following is an introduction of hearing test methods for infants suspected of hearing impairment in a community family:

1. Newborn to 3 months old: when the baby is asleep, ring the bell or bowl beside him. Light sleep can be lighter, while deep sleep can be louder. See if the baby blinks, legs or arms shake or wake up.

L ￣ 3-6 months: give a drum, a bell or a toy to watch the baby’s response on the left line or the right side of the child’s vision.

6-9 months: ask the mother to hold the child on her lap and attract her attention. Another person uses the above methods to give voice to see if the child’s head will turn to the sound source.

L ￣ 9-12 months: the same way is to give sound at the bottom. Children with normal hearing should first look for the sound source left and right, and then look down.

12-15 months: if the sound is given above the child’s line of sight, he will look up when he cannot find the sound source in other directions.

L 18 months: after hearing the sound, the child with normal hearing will turn his head to the sound source immediately.

Different frequencies of sound can be used as the test sound source. For example, the drum is low-frequency and the bell is high-frequency. For infants under 6 months old, the test sound should be slightly louder.

If the above methods are used to estimate that infants may have hearing impairment, they should immediately go to the hospital to see an otologist for further examination, and make a detailed hearing test to make a clear diagnosis.
