The child is too obedient just because he can’t hear

He has always been praised as a “sensible and obedient child” by his neighbors, relatives and friends. Now, because he can’t speak at the age of six, he can only produce yiyiyaya single tone, which makes his family sad. Recently, Yi Chen (pseudonym) followed his parents to the otolaryngology Research Institute of the armed police hospital for hearing examination. He found that both ears were severely deaf, and the parents could not accept the fact that the child could not speak, saying that they would devote all their efforts to the treatment of the child’s ear diseases.

Congenital acquired factors may lead to hearing loss

Children who can’t speak to the hospital at the age of 5 or 6 are usually unable to hear, learn and then open their mouths. This kind of hearing problem, in addition to congenital factors, is partly acquired, such as children’s nasopharynx problems, choking when drinking water and milk, adenoid hypertrophy, rhinosinusitis leading to otitis media, and so on; in addition, a very few areas of parents due to lack of understanding of drug toxicity, mistakenly giving ototoxic drugs to children leads to deafness. The treatment of the disease needs to check and determine the cause of the disease before corresponding treatment. Part of the patients can recover hearing through surgery.

Early detection of hearing impairment by neonatal hearing screening

Whether the newborn’s hearing is normal or not can be found early through the newborn’s hearing screening, which is very important for the prevention and early diagnosis of congenital non hereditary hearing loss in children. For children under 2 years old, the resistance is low, and various infectious diseases, especially respiratory diseases, can easily occur. Parents need to read carefully when taking drugs for their children Read the instruction manual, if it is a ototoxic drug, it should be avoided as far as possible; when it must be used, it should be taken under the guidance of the doctor instead of being determined to let the child take it; parents find that the child’s deafness is usually learned in the speech stage after the birth of the child, that is, between the age of 1-3, when the parents observe the difference between their own child and other children’s behavior, speech and expression ability, they find the child’s deafness. It is understood that parents find that the deafness of their children is also due to their children’s slow response, unintelligible listening and babbling.

Parents’ attitude directly affects the early intervention of children with hearing impairment

Yi Chen’s father said that his children were obedient when they were young. I seldom cry. When I know my parents are busy, I will sit quietly and play alone. The whole family is very healthy. How can a son be deaf without being deaf and dumb?

“Wait a moment, wait for the results to come out, and see if there is any way to treat it.” The professor consoled, “some parents are very excited when they know their children’s deafness. Although the children can’t hear, they can see clearly. The parents’ emotions affect their children’s understanding of their condition, which leads to their children’s abnormal emotion when they see wearing a white coat, crying and making noise, unwilling to cooperate with the examination.”. This is not conducive to treatment. On the one hand, parents lack correct understanding of deafness and bring negative emotions to their children; on the other hand, face problems make them feel that it is disgraceful to have a deaf child. To avoid the problem of children’s deafness, parents avoid, children are ignorant, and neighbors mistakenly transmit It is the children who are ultimately harmed. ”

The professor suggested that parents should lay down their psychological burden, face up to the problem of children’s disability, infect the children with a positive attitude, get rid of the fetters of panic and passivity, and implement early intervention on the children, so as to become a strong force for the rehabilitation of deaf children.

According to the examination results, Yi Chen belongs to the deaf children with moderate and severe sensorineural deafness. They can compensate their hearing by wearing hearing aids, and recover their hearing and speech through rehabilitation training. “Deafness is not an incurable disease. There is no fear in imagination. The nature of deafness is different. Some of them can be reversed and some of them are irreversible. For example, conductive deafness can be improved or even restored by operation. If the patient can’t accept the operation or the operation is ineffective due to various conditions, they can wear hearing aids. For the patients with sensorineural deafness, they can restore or partially restore the lost hearing by drug treatment, wearing hearing aids, cochlear implant, hearing and speech training, and try to preserve and use the residual hearing; mix Patients with sexual deafness are treated according to different causes and conditions. ”

When it is found that the child has passed the period of learning language and cannot express or express fluently, it is necessary to achieve “three early” — early discovery, early correction and early education.
