My daughter new born approx.3 months, we observed that she does not responding any sound, we take her to ENT specialist where doctor suggested 2 test a) Accu Screen b) Bera Test. These test results are positive, I just want to know is there any treatment for this problem. What is your opinion?
Hi...if ERA is suggestive of deafness then it is sensorineural deafness. There are different treatment modalities for single ear and both ear deafness. If there is deafness in both the ears then hearing aids should be tried first. The last option is cochlear implant which is done on one side and can be done at one year of age. It is only done in tertiary care centers. So be in touch with your pediatric ENT surgeon and take decision according to the audiometry reports. Choclear implantation gives good results and the baby can lead a near normal life
