What is the principle of choosing a hearing aid for children?

Children’s optional hearing aidWhat is the principle?

1Accurate audiology and medical diagnosis: audiology and medical diagnosis must be clear(Including the integrity of the middle ear, inner ear and auditory nerve, cochlear structure;Auditory neuropathy, large vestibular aqueduct syndrome, and other metabolic and hereditary disease syndromes, etc.).

2, get accurate and full frequency band(At least should include0.5 k,1k,2kAnd4kHzpoint)Hearing loss level(It is not recommended to use the results of multi-frequency steady state directly.), that is, an accurate hearing curve that can be used for hearing aid fitting in both ears.

3Medical professional fitting: In addition to the hearing aid and audiology professional related issues, the hearing aid fitting also involves the baby’s comprehensive medical assessment. Such as the diagnosis of developmental delay, tongue ligament, large vestibular aqueduct syndrome, auditory neuropathy and cerebral palsy and intelligence, cytomegalovirus infection, auditory development of children and mental development.

4Both sides of the hearing loss must be equipped with a hearing aid on both sides.

5Avoid non-intervention and insufficient intervention: When the subjective and objective examination of audiology does not lead to the reaction, it is often considered that there is no residual hearing. In fact, most of them have some residual hearing. Therefore, early(Less than1year old)The hearing aid should not be abandoned. If the hearing aid fitting is invalid, the electronic cochlear implant can be considered.

6Avoid excessive intervention. That is, if the hearing aid is not equipped with a hearing aid, we already know that there are hearing development delays and test errors.(The test must be repeated twice)The problem(About7%)Especially for the diagnosis of patients with mild to moderate hearing loss. Will appear early(Less than six months old)Over-diagnosis in intervention, and over-diagnosis will inevitably lead to excessive intervention, and appropriate intervention must be done.

7Infants and young children should choose high-performance hearing aids as much as possible. High-performance hearing aids have the advantages of increased sound fidelity, wide range, and fast processing and high-performance.

8Hearing aids must be tested early, while adhering to the family-based auditory and speech rehabilitation training.

9Correct use and maintenance of hearing aids and ear molds and regular follow-up.
