Childrens hearing loss

Childhood Hearing Loss
The causes of childhood hearing loss or deafness can be classified into prenatal, perinatal or postnatal, that is, those causes that cause hearing loss before birth, those related to birth and those after birth.
Relatively speaking, the most important causes of deafness are heredity, rubella, if the mother gets sick during pregnancy, cytomegalovirus, mother-child blood incompatibility and other complications associated with prematurity, fetal anoxia in cases of prolonged labor, injuries childbirth, the appearance of nuclear jaundice after the birth of the child, the use of ototoxic medicines and finally cases of injuries.
The causes that cause hearing loss after childbirth are various infections, such as meningitis, mumps, infections of this medium with perforation of the eardrum and the administration of ototoxic medicines.
It is important to emphasize that early diagnosis of damage to the infant's auditory function must be possible and effective treatment of the problem.
In recent years, our special tests for the early detection of hearing loss so that the treatment of the problem can begin in time.
If the hearing loss is mild, moderate or severe and is due to damage to the cochlea and the auditory nerve in general, then the use of hearing aids will help the young patient to develop speech. In cases where there is practical deafness after a detailed electronic control of the auditory nerve, the placement of a cochlear implant is attempted, so that the higher auditory centers are supplied in time with the necessary sound stimuli. In this way the deaf child develops and gradually learns to speak.
