Only one ear of a child can hear it. The consequences are very serious!

It is the most common manifestation of asymmetric hearing loss to “listen” with only one ear. This kind of hearing loss can be unilateral hearing loss or bilateral hearing loss.

The long-term non-interference of asymmetric hearing loss will lead to a series of serious disorders in children, which include not only hearing loss, but also obvious language retardation, mental retardation, communication disorders and so on. In clinic, asymmetric hearing loss is defined as hearing threshold difference of 15dB HL or speech recognition rate difference of more than 20%.

However, the performance of asymmetric hearing loss is often not obvious. When children suffer from asymmetric hearing loss in childhood, parents often dismiss it for the following reasons:

1. The early hearing loss of the child is not obvious, and the hearing loss is not obvious until the child gradually presents learning disorder, social and emotional disorder, which can not be detected by the parents

2. After hearing screening, it is found that the child has hearing loss disorder, but the parents think that the child can still hear the sound with the help of the healthy ear, so there is no need to take intervention measures

Research shows that asymmetric hearing loss can affect the development of brain auditory pathway, and then make poor ears show more obvious damage.

If parents do not intervene, children will show more obvious hearing loss and other mental development disorders in the development process:

Listening:

1. Relying on one ear for a long time will gradually aggravate the hearing loss of poor ears, lead to hearing deprivation, and affect the development of auditory pathway

2. One ear cannot locate the sound source

3. There is obvious hearing loss disorder in noisy environment, and many people cannot hear the target speech clearly when talking

Intelligence:

1. Language retardation

2. Compared with children of the same age, children are more likely to show incomprehensible vocabulary and simple grammatical structure

3. Academic performance declines and more emotional and communication barriers appear

Therefore, children with hearing loss must pay great attention to it. If they need to wear hearing aids, they can go to Jinghao hearing aid store and tell the matched person about the situation. After on-site matching, they can wear appropriate hearing aids to compensate for hearing loss.

Jinghao hearing aid reminder: hearing aid wearing requires professional “matching”, so it is very important to choose a professional hearing aid matching center and a hearing aid tester! If you have any hearing problems, you can call Jinghao for consultation, or come to the matching center for experience. Hearing aid free consultation Tel.: + 86-18566295705
