Detecting Hearing Loss In Children

by Justine Evans

Hearing is important to a child's learning development, particularly in making sounds and speaking a particular language. A child can't fully express himself or herself through verbal communication if he or she cannot produce the kind of sound that is necessary to pronounce a particular letter or word. This is why parents should be aware of signs that tell if their child is experiencing a kind of hearing condition.

First off, parents should be aware that a baby can hear fairly but not fully. They tend to respond to exaggerated or high-pitched sounds. This is because their middle ear is filled with fluid which hinders them from hearing low-pitched sounds.

So if your child does not respond to extra loud sounds, you should begin observing your child. Your new-born child should also be able to recognize your voice since your child already heard it when he or she is still in your womb. If your child's reaction doesn't change, you should visit a reliable ENT Doctor for Children.

Four Types Of Hearing Impairment

Conductive hearing loss - this kind of hearing problem usually affect the middle and outer ear. This hearing problem is only a minor condition yet it affects all frequencies of hearing evenly. The <a href='http://www.gcheeent.com/surgeon-specialist/ent-in-singapore/'>ent specialist singapore</a> parents approached for this condition would suggest treatments like the use of hearing aids and surgery.

Sensorineural hearing losses - this kind of hearing problem occurs when the delicate sensory hair cells of the inner ear are damaged. A person may experience it in a mild to severe condition and it may affect their ability to hear certain frequencies. Your ENT Singapore specialist would probably suggest other treatments instead of using hearing aid since it does not work even when it helps amplify the sound.

Mixed hearing loss - it's a hearing condition that shows symptoms of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, hence the name mixed.

Central hearing loss - this defect occurs when there is the nerves of the central nervous systems or the brain itself are damaged.
