The best time to treat hearing impairment is before 3 years old.

Hearing impairment is a kind of invisible disability, which is not easy to be detected by people. Most of them have missed the best opportunity of treatment when they are found, so it is particularly urgent to carry out newborn hearing screening. At present, hearing screening has been included in routine newborn screening in most areas of China. Infants have no startling or blinking reflex to the sudden loud voice. Infants do not stop crying or activity when they have voice from March to June. Infants from September to December still do not turn to the speaker. They still can not speak more than two words when they are 2 years old. Parents should pay attention.

Experts said that hearing impairment is closely related to hearing and language development. Deafness and hearing loss seriously hinder the development of children’s language and cognitive functions, making them unable to receive normal education. Early establishment of hearing can promote the language development and thinking development of infants. If the conditions are met, cochlear implants can be implanted. The best time to treat hearing impairment is before the age of 3. If the operation is performed after the age of 7, the effect will be discounted. The older the patient is, the worse the effect will be. Infant period is the best period for children’s auditory language development. In this period, children implanted with cochlear implant begin to receive auditory information when the brain is most suitable and starts to master language. Their auditory development will not be affected, and their oral expression ability will naturally form.

Experts specially remind that cochlear implant surgery is not suitable for everyone, only the patients with severe, extremely severe hearing impairment who have little effect with hearing aids need to carry out, and the patients with general hearing impairment can solve the hearing impairment through hearing aids. Therefore, patients with hearing impairment must go to a regular hospital for diagnosis and treatment and consult a professional otologist.

Jinghao hearing aid love tips:

1. Hearing aids are not ordinary commodities. They must be checked by the fitting personnel in a professional fitting center, and appropriate hearing aids must be selected to compensate for the residual hearing, otherwise it may further damage the hearing. Hearing aids are not the more expensive the better, the best for you.

2. The auditory nerve will be “used in and out of use”. Patients with hearing loss should be equipped with hearing aids as early as possible, not until the deafness develops to a very serious level; long-term wearing of hearing aids can restore the degraded auditory function. So if you have hearing loss, you need to wear a hearing aid as soon as possible.

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!
