☆ Parenting Q ＆ A "Hearing Loss in Children" ☆

Q: My 9-month-old child does not respond well to noises. The newborn hearing test was fine, but is there anything to worry about?
A: Even if there were no problems in the newborn hearing test, there are cases of acquired hearing loss and types of hearing loss that progress gradually. Continued hearing loss can make it difficult for the child to acquire language and affect his or her future life. Early recognition of hearing loss, appropriate treatment and the use of hearing aids can increase the chances of language acquisition. If you are concerned, visit a medical facility with a pediatrician or otolaryngologist.
