A group of innocent and lovely children came to the China Dream Show. They sang \”Snail\” with their natural voices. I want to climb up step by step, waiting for the sun to look at its face quietly. The natural childlike voice, coupled with clear pronunciation and accurate rhythm, won a round of applause. After singing, the host asked: \”Do you think your singing is good?\” \”I always feel good.\” The child said loudly and confidently, \”Are you tired from practicing?\” \”…\” \”Can\’t hear you clearly.\” The child said loudly and confidently. He put away his smile, looking slightly embarrassed. They are a group of hearing-impaired children. It took them half a year to learn this song, word for word. Work harder than ordinary people and overcome obstacles with optimism. They have brought us such a wonderful world of music, but their world is an abyss of infinite noise… Do you think that hearing-impaired children are only a tiny minority? Chengdu Women and Children\’s Central Hospital once conducted hearing screening on children with an average age of 4 and a half years old, and the results were shocking. Among nearly 8,000 children, the number of children who failed the hearing screening was as high as 10.2%. These children who failed the hearing screening continued to be diagnosed. Secretory otitis media, cerumen embolism, and sensorineural hearing loss accounted for a large proportion. Partly, that is to say, children\’s hearing has been damaged in their early years, and these injuries all come from acquired factors. Deafness caused by drugs is the most common influencing factor. Do you still remember the well-known \”Thousand-Hand Guanyin\” on the Spring Festival Gala in 2005? Among the 21 actors with hearing impairment, 18 were deafened due to drugs. Among them is lead dancer Tai Lihua, who lost her hearing after being injected with streptomycin due to high fever when she was two years old. Drug-induced deafness is the most common cause of hearing impairment in young children. Among the more than 30,000 newly deafened children every year, about 50% are deafened due to drug poisoning. Aminoglycoside antibiotics account for 97% of drug-induced deafness. Drug-induced deafness is mainly manifested by the slow loss of the auditory system, which usually occurs 1 to 2 weeks after taking the drug. If the child\’s auditory response becomes slow, it is time to be vigilant. Please keep these aminoglycoside antibiotics in mind, they are streptomycin, gentamicin, kanamycin, amikacin, sisomicin, netilmicin, tobramycin, Neomycin etc. cctv10 Health Road 20151002 Otitis media can also lead to hearing loss. Physiologically, our ears, nose, and throat are all connected, and they are connected through a tube cavity (called the \”Eustachian tube\”). The advantage of this is that if you have ear congestion when flying, you can relieve it by swallowing saliva. The downside is that air, bacteria, and viruses can also shuttle back and forth between various organs. ✖Blow✖When a child has a cold or rhinitis, if he blows his nose too hard, the bacteria and viruses in the mouth and nasal cavity will be flushed into the middle ear along with the airflow due to excessive pressure. ✖Cover✖When sneezing, you will subconsciously cover your mouth with your hands. At this time, bacteria and secretions in the mouth will also be flushed into the middle ear. ✖Grug✖When a child cries and refuses to drink medicine, if the parent pinches the child\’s nose and force-fed medicine to the baby, the medicine in the mouth will easily flow to the middle ear through the Eustachian tube during the struggle. ✖Choke✖Before the baby’s swallowing function is not fully developed, if, the milk flow is too much and too fast, and the baby has not had time to swallow, and it is easy for the milk to flow back from the pharynx into the middle ear. These unintentional daily behaviors can easily cause otitis media. Most otitis media will cause moderate or mild hearing loss, and the ear cannot repair dead hair cells on its own, so this lost hearing may not be restored. The correct way to blow your nose is to use clean and soft toilet paper and place it above the baby\’s nose. Be careful not to cover the nostrils. Then press one side of the baby\’s nostril with your fingers and let him blow his nose with a little force. In the same way, clear the other side of the nasal cavity. External injuries can also damage hearing. A few days ago, a mother in Zhengzhou picked out her 2-year-old child\’s ears, and accidentally the child\’s eardrum was perforated. Sharp ear picks will scratch the delicate ear canal, and cotton swabs are not safe either. Su Yongkang once revealed that he once used a cotton swab to clean his ears at home. He went too far and left the cotton in the ear canal. When the cotton was taken out, the ears continued to bleed and his hearing decreased. Using a cotton swab to remove the ear will also push the earwax from the external auditory canal into the depth of the ear. After squeezing the porcelain, it will form a cerumen embolism, causing a sudden decrease in hearing. The doctor said that the ears have a self-cleaning function, and improper cleaning may lead to cerumen embolism. The rate of cerumen embolism in young children is higher than that in adults. Another reason is that children have narrow ear canals and weak ability to discharge earwax. Therefore, if you find that your child has hearing loss, you can go to the hospital to have it cleaned up. If there is cerumen embolism, the hearing will be restored as soon as it is removed. The reason why hearing is important to young children is that it is their reference for learning language. Unlike vision, hearing loss, especially if it is mild, is often difficult to detect, but in fact, many people\’s hearing loss begins from childhood. Pay attention to the health of your ears, start with your baby!
