Congenital deafness can be improved with hearing aids or cochlear implants and daily speech training to restore speech function.
Congenital deafness is mostly caused by congenital deafness that prevents the patient from learning to speak, resulting in secondary speech disorders. In clinical practice, cochlear implant surgery and hearing aids are often used to improve patients’ hearing, cultivate their listening habits, and then gradually exercise their speech function and conduct speech training to improve their quality of life.
1. Cochlear implant surgery is used to directly stimulate the auditory nerve endings, so that the patient can perceive sound again.
2. Wearing hearing aids, those with residual hearing can use hearing aids to restore part of their hearing.
3. Auditory and speech training. After the patient has regained partial hearing, the patient should cultivate his/her habit of listening and improve his/her ability of auditory recognition and memory. Speech training is to train the deaf child to pronounce sounds and read lips with the help of appropriate instruments, such as speech instrument, etc. Auditory and speech training promote each other in order to restore part of the language function.
Congenital deafness should be diagnosed and treated early, and early measures should be taken to avoid delaying the corrective time.
