The suffering of deaf children
If you pay close attention, you will notice that the suffering of deaf children is: children are often restless, anxious, their faces and moods are very miserable in unexpected situations, they are not prepared. , unable to understand the thoughts and actions of others, children cannot express their own wishes.
Therefore deaf children have different reactions, depending on their natural nature such as irritability, aggression, or indifferent indifference, mood swings

. All behaviors of parents and relatives such as pampering, or anger, coldness make the child's condition worse.
Recognize a child's deafness
Currently two methods are used to assess hearing: one by audiometer, two by speech.
The type of machine used to test deafness is called an audiometer There are many types: simply for hearing screening; Complex machines can not only identify deafness levels but also identify types of deafness.




Because there is no audiometer at home and most health facilities in the commune and ward, it is necessary to use a voice to detect deafness.
How to do the following: stand behind the way the child suspects deafness, one arm to one side; instruct children to apply pressure on the other ear cap; whisper a lot of words, if the child listens and repeats correctly then the conclusion is that the ear is trying to hear normally.
Try changing the ear: if the child cannot repeat, try again by saying many words with a normal voice (louder than whispering), if the child repeats correctly then the ear test is slightly deaf.
If the child cannot repeat it, try again by saying many words with a loud voice; If the child repeats correctly, the ear test result is average deafness.
If the child does not repeat, continue to try by shouting many words at the ear; if the child repeats correctly, the ear is trying to be severely deaf; Try changing the ear, if the child does not hear the loud scream, then it is deaf or deep deaf.
Hearing test in newborns: done in a quiet room, when the baby has just slept no more than 5 minutes; say each letter: A, B, C, D, E, 50cm from the baby's ear.
Observe the baby's reaction to see if blinking, opening eyes, twisting, moving limbs, then concluding that the baby can hear, his ears hear normally

Hearing test in children 1 to 3 years old: in a quiet room, the person standing standing at a distance of 1m from the back of the baby but not letting him know, making noises from the testing instruments: cups, spoons, drums, bells; Observe the baby's reaction to the noise such as blinking, listening, turning his head to the source of the noise.




Hearing test for children 3-7 years old: quiet room, try sitting opposite the baby, saying the names of some pictures in some simple pictures for him to listen and pointing until he understands how to try.
After that, the person behind him whispered the names of the pictures, each said 2-3 times until he was sure he could hear.
Evaluate whether your baby hears or not by observing whether or not the baby is only speaking in the correct form. No pictures, can ask your baby only objects in the test room such as tables, chairs, toys, or only body parts such as ears, nose, mouth, limbs ...
If the baby just whisper is not right then say normally normal, if the baby just wrong then use loud talk, then shouted near the ear. Based on how well your baby hears, a preliminary assessment of the baby's mild, moderate, or severe deafness .

Treatments
If a deaf child is found, early treatment is needed to reduce the harm caused by the deaf. Depending on the cause of hearing loss that treatment.
Hearing loss is caused by the outer ear, in some cases, children come back from the beach or after a shower with deafness in one or both ears.
The reason is that water enters the ear, and the earwax enlarges to block the passage of sound to the eardrum. Treatment by taking out the earwax the child will hear normally again.
Pathological hearing loss in the middle ear: clogged eardrum, otitis media, if not detected and treated promptly will lead to otitis media perforation.



Treatment with medication and surgery to fix the eardrum.
Deafness due to inner ear disease: sudden deafness is common after a night of waking up. This is an ear, nose and throat emergency, because treatment results vary widely depending on the time of arrival.
After medical treatment and surgery, although hearing has improved, but still does not communicate normally, children must use hearing aids, or cochlear implants.
For all cases of mild, moderate or severe deafness, deep deafness without condition for cochlear implant, children need to use hearing aids as soon as possible.

If left unattended, the child's voice may be distorted. Children do not hear, so they do not understand what other people say, gradually children become isolated, psychological and psychological changes affecting health.
Cochlear implants for children with severe and deep deafness, and hearing aids are also less effective.



If children are born deaf and deaf before learning to speak, the time to start a cochlear implant is very important, having a cochlear implant before age 5,.
