Types of hearing loss in newborns
The child's auditory system is a system in his body that helps him hear,
and through it the audio information is transformed into a more logical one, as
it is transmitted from the ear to the brain since the beginning of the senses
of hearing and sight in newborns, and some problems may result in those parts
of the auditory system that cause loss hearing:
The outer ear:
This part of the ear that is on the outside of the eardrum, the outside of
the head and the ear canal, and separates the outer ear from the middle ear
includes the eardrum.
middle ear:
That part of the eardrum consists of the inside and three small bones known
as the ossicles. The sound coming into the ear is transmitted through the ear
canal towards the eardrum, which results in the eardrum vibrating specifically
(it moves forward and backward quickly), and when the eardrum vibrates, it
moves ossicles, which helps sound travel to the inner ear.
inner ear:
This part consists of the cochlea (a curly tube filled with fluid) and the channels that work to achieve balance. The inner ear also contains nerves It changes sound vibrations into signals that travel through the auditory nerve (also known as the auditory nerve) to the brain. The auditorynerve sends sound information from the ear to the brain.
Common types of hearing loss include:
Conductive hearing loss: This type occurs when there is
a problem in the
outer or middle ear that slows or blocks the passage of sound waves. Problems
may include fluid in the middle ear or blockage in the ear canal. This type of
hearing loss is usually temporary and not permanent. It can be treated either
through medication or surgical treatment.

hearing loss is often permanent and difficult to treat.
Mixed hearing loss:
This occurs when the child suffers from conductive and sensorineural

How do you know if your child has a hearing loss?

examination of newborns before they leave the hospital after birth. Also,
newborn examinations represent a search for serious but rare health conditions
that can often be treated at birth and in the period following it. The blood
examination includes both hearing and heart as well.
In the case that the child does not pass the newborn hearing test, this
does not always mean that he suffers from a hearing impairment problem - but it
requires that he be subjected to a complete audiological test as soon as
possible before that child reaches the age of three months, as a complete
hearing test can help. Child health care diagnosis of hearing loss.
And in the event that it is proven through testing and examination that the
child suffers from hearing impairment, it is important and necessary for him to
obtain immediate treatment, and in the United States every state has an Early
Hearing Detection and Intervention (EHDI) program that is based on helping
children with hearing impairment and their families, it can also help with
complete hearing tests and other services for the child.
