Drug induced deafness in children

Hunan Provincial Department of Health issued a ban on strict control of antibiotics. In order to prevent and control the abuse of antibiotics, a network will be set up to monitor the use of antibiotics in 176 secondary and above medical institutions in the province. If doctors seriously abuse antibiotics, the prescription right will be cancelled. The abuse of antibiotics has once again aroused great attention.

According to statistics, China’s per capita annual consumption of antibiotics is about 138 grams, 10 times that of the United States, and it is also the country with the most serious abuse of antibiotics in the world. Among them, children in the growing period are the most seriously affected by drug abuse. One of the reasons is that many parents unintentionally cause harm to their children due to the lack of basic knowledge on the use of antibiotics.

In Beijing deaf children’s rehabilitation center, deaf and mute children are taking listening and language rehabilitation classes. These children, originally innocent, actually have a little disease. But probably more than half of the children have to do with antibiotic abuse, leading to deafness. According to the reporter’s investigation, this kind of misfortune is still happening one after another. Not long ago, an 8-month-old boy in Xinjiang was diagnosed as deaf by antibiotics in Beijing Tongren Hospital. Unfortunately, the boy’s 4-year-old brother was deaf two years ago because of the same disease and the use of the same antibiotic. She took him to the hospital to see a doctor. The doctor said, give him some gentamicin. Then she said, our eldest brother is deaf because of gentamicin. It’s impossible, said the local doctor. I haven’t heard of this phenomenon. Give it to him, but after a few days of drinking it, he found that the second one didn’t respond to the sound, and he didn’t respond to other people’s speech. The second child was deaf again! Experts said that unreasonable use of antibiotics could easily damage the children’s auditory nerve and cause permanent deafness.

The cochlea and cochlear nerve are the necessary bridge for sound to pass from the eardrum to the brain. The abuse of deafness drugs results in the interruption of the pathway, which is equivalent to the impairment of our cochlea, the interruption of the bridge, and the decrease of the patients’ hearing.

Antibiotics lead to deafness in children, which not only changes children’s life, but also brings heavy burden to family and society. The hearing loss is more serious, so the hearing aid compensation is ineffective, so only the cochlear implant can be carried out, so such children, their consumption level will be higher, about 5.6 million yuan, in this lifetime. So these bring a heavy burden to the family.
