宝宝听力筛查的重要性

几乎所有孩子在出生时都能听到声音,并通过模仿周围的声音来学习说话,这些声音可能来自父母或其他家庭成员。不幸的是,仍有一些孩子出生时就存在单耳或双耳的听力损失。对于有听力损失的儿童来说,他们的语言学习能力可能不如听力正常的孩子,因为没有声音输入,就没有声音输出。因此,尽早发现耳聋或听力损失至关重要。

宝宝的听力筛查最佳时间是什么时候?

越早越好。新生儿听力筛查可以在出生后24小时内有效进行。语言学习的关键期是生命的前三年,这段时间大脑正在发育和成熟。实际上,婴儿在生命的前六个月就开始学习和适应声音和语言。如果婴儿能够早早听到声音,他们在4或5岁之前就可以自然习得语言(口头表达)。

有研究表明,听力受损且早期配备助听器的儿童会比没有配备助听器的儿童发展出更好的语言技能。如果筛查显示可能存在问题,您需要迅速采取行动并采取预防措施。现在就计划一次听力筛查吧。

耳声发射(OAE)

一种用于宝宝听力筛查的测试叫做耳声发射(OAE)。此测试用于检测宝宝的耳朵是否对声音有反应。在测试过程中,耳机会放入宝宝的耳道,通过测量耳内的回声反应,我们可以判断宝宝是否可能有听力损失,或者他们的听力是否正常。

自动听觉脑干反应(AABR)

另一种用于宝宝听力筛查的测试叫做自动听觉脑干反应(AABR)。AABR的最大优势在于可在出生后任何时间进行筛查。该测试通过记录大脑对声音的反应操作。耳机将放置在宝宝耳朵上,并播放一系列的声音。如果听力系统正常,机器将报告出强烈的反应。

如果宝宝的听力筛查结果显示可能有问题,该怎么办?

如果宝宝的听力结果不利,请不要惊慌。如果测试时宝宝情绪不稳定、房间嘈杂,或者耳朵里有出生时的液体(叫做胎脂),都会影响测试结果。通常会在转诊进行第二次筛查之前重复测试。被转诊并不一定意味着宝宝有听力损失。

在SoundLife,我们可以提供帮助。我们是专门评估和管理儿童听力损失的专家。我们将进行测试,以确定您的宝宝是否有听力问题,如果有,我们将评估问题的类型和严重程度,并判断孩子是否需要佩戴助听器(助听器/植入物)。

助听器可以帮助听力损失的儿童,它们可以佩戴在耳内或耳后,然后把声音放大。在这里,我们可以帮助您选择最合适的助听器,并确保其安全并调整正确。

Do be aware always, hearing loss can occur anytime in life. Some inherited forms of hearing loss don’t appear until a child is older. In addition, illness, ear infection, head injury, certain medications, and loud noise are all potential causes of hearing loss in children. We suggest after baby’s hearing screening, the child should be re-screened again before they entering kindergarten and primary school to ensure they have perfect hearing to maximize their learning potential.
