Many parents may only know to protect their children's vision, but as a person whose hearing is not very good, tell everyone that their children's hearing is also very important.
When I was a child, I played in my hometown, fell asleep in the pasture, and a small centipede burrowed into the right ear, and although it came out later, the hearing in the right ear has not been very good. Many people are not aware of this flaw of mine, but when others whisper, I occasionally can't hear clearly, don't know how to answer other people's questions, and can only laugh awkwardly.
And then there are times when I can't hear other people and I get misunderstood— how does this person ignore me? Later, he was isolated by his classmates.
Hearing is more important for children, many children are because of hearing impairment, resulting in language expression ability impairment, listening is an important function of children's communication with the outside world.
Many parents are because they are ignorant, so they invisibly cause their children's hearing loss, but the follow-up remedy is very difficult, and when they understand it, they can only regret it very much.
How can we protect our children's hearing? Be prepared from the time of your child's fetal development!
Fetal hearing has begun to develop in the early stages of pregnancy, and mothers should pay attention to protection
The hearing development of the fetus is much earlier than the development of vision. Normally developing fetuses have begun to develop in the first three months of the mother's pregnancy, and the second and third trimesters of pregnancy belong to a simple process of cell volume increase.
Protect your baby's hearing development during pregnancy – do not use medication at will.
The baby develops in the mother's belly, and we have some pregnancy reactions in the first three months, and the body is very uncomfortable. Throughout pregnancy, there will also be problems with illness, but in the first three months of pregnancy, mothers cannot use drugs at will, which will affect the development of children.
Drugs such as chloramphenicol can cause great damage to your child's hearing. Even throughout the pregnancy, we all have to strengthen our physique, even if we are uncomfortable, we can't take medicine at will, and we have to go to the hospital to listen to the doctor's advice.
The way to protect the hearing development of the fetus during pregnancy, in addition to avoiding the effects of drugs on the development of the fetus, but also to go to the hospital on time for obstetric examination. Mothers with familial deafness should also do a test for the deafness gene to avoid the fetus having a hereditary deafness gene.
Lactation is also a critical period for hearing protection in infants and young children
A friend's child, when he was only more than three months old, actually got otitis media, but his mother was frightened, fortunately, the treatment was timely and did not affect his hearing.
If we look it up on the Internet, we will find that the proportion of infants and young children with otitis media is very high. After the child is born, he may not be able to see the things in front of him for a period of time, but he can hear his mother's voice. During the lactation of infants and young children, we have some unintentional behaviors that can harm the child's hearing.
Babies choking and spitting up may cause the baby's hearing to be affected.
If we adults choke, we will also feel that our ears are blocked, which is very uncomfortable, but the vomit is not easy to reverse the flow into the ears. Baby because of incomplete development, their Eustachian tube is in a straight state, when the baby chokes milk, spit milk, it is easy to flow into the ear cavity, resulting in otitis media, if more serious will also affect the child's later hearing.
During infant lactation, in order to protect the child's hearing, mothers should do this
When feeding the baby, try not to let the baby lie flat for milk, the mother can sit up, hold the child 45 ° tilted in her arms to feed.
In addition, the baby is young, we should feed slower, control the speed of the baby's milk, try not to let him choke. Also, when the baby is full, we should not forget to pick up the baby and burp him to prevent the baby from spitting up and choking.
In infancy and early childhood, the baby's brother's hearing care, mothers are prone to make these mistakes
The mother frequently plucks the baby's ears, affecting the baby's hearing.
In our hometown, there is a saying that the more the ears are pulled out, the more deaf they are.
Children's ears can not often take out earwax, our ears in the earwax, will be automatically discharged with some movements of the human body, generally will not affect the hearing. On the contrary, when the mother pulls out the ear, it is easy to stimulate the ear canal and eardrum, and strong stimulation and injury will make the baby's ear inflamed and affect the baby's hearing.
If the baby's ears really need to pull out earwax, you should also use soft tools to dig out a more external position, and the more far-reaching inner ear must not be pulled out hard.
The mother wipes the baby's nose too hard, affecting the baby's hearing.
When the baby often has a cold and a runny nose, we wipe the baby's nose, don't try too hard, and want to wipe it clean at once. Adults pinching a child's nose will make the ears very swollen, and the small ears are easily injured.
Rub your baby's nose, gently. It is best to use a damp tissue that will not hurt your baby's delicate skin too much.
It is not good for mothers to give their babies medicine, water, and force feeding.
It is very difficult for babies to take medicine, and some babies are unwilling to drink water, and the mother also feeds water with a small spoon, and the mother forces the baby to feed medicine and water, which will make the baby have the possibility of choking. This is the same reason as the baby choking on milk, it is easy to make the baby's ears inflamed.
Baby medicine, we can use some more ingenious methods, for example, mixed in some children prefer to eat food, and then such as using a drug dropper and so on.
Improper medication can cause hearing loss in infants and young children.
Our neighbors in our hometown once had such a tragedy, the son was a few months old, because of improper use of antibiotics, resulting in deaf ears of children.
Therefore, infants and young children must not use drugs at will, especially some antibiotic drugs. If your child is sick, you must go to a regular hospital.
The growth of children is inseparable from our careful care, and the seedlings will eventually grow into towering trees.
