Things to note when conducting hearing screening for newborn babies

In fact, examination is very important for babies who have just been born, because they are not so familiar with the world when they are born, and their resistance is very poor at this time, so you need to check whether your baby is healthy, especially for newborn hearing screening. It is very critical, so let us learn about the precautions for newborn hearing screening.

Note:

Before screening:

1. Listen carefully to the screening personnel's explanation of the significance and methods of hearing screening; read the informed consent form carefully and sign it.

2. The best test results are obtained when the baby is in natural sleep state. If the baby is irritable or crying, it will affect the test results. Therefore, parents should try to feed the baby and put him to sleep before the hearing test.

3. Change the baby's diaper into a clean one to make him comfortable and stop him from crying.

4. Choose a blanket of appropriate thickness for your baby. If it is too thin, the baby will get cold easily, and if it is too thick, it will affect the operation.

Screening:

1. Keep quiet and avoid talking; turn off all communication devices and avoid noise.

2. Keep your baby in the correct screening posture, expose the test ear and avoid covering it.

3. During the test, parents can gently place their hands on the baby's shoulders to make the baby feel safe.

4. After finishing the operation on one ear, do not turn the baby over hard to avoid waking the baby up. Instead, cooperate with the doctor to gently turn the baby over to the other ear.

After screening:

1. Listen carefully to the doctor's explanation. If you fail the screening, follow the doctor's instructions.

2. Children at high risk of hearing loss should undergo hearing monitoring every 6 months until they are 3 years old.

3. Those who pass the screening should receive regular hearing care from the children's health care department.

4. Pay attention to prevent noise, drugs, etc. from damaging your baby's hearing.

5. Pay attention to your baby's hearing and speech development. If there is any suspected developmental delay, seek medical attention promptly to rule it out.

The above article has given you a detailed introduction to the precautions for newborn hearing screening. I believe that everyone has a relatively preliminary understanding. Therefore, in daily life, if any abnormalities are found, further and more detailed examinations should be conducted.
