A child with a hearing of 60 decibels should be considered to have congenital sensorineural hearing loss. In this case, it is recommended to wear hearing aids as early as possible to improve hearing and facilitate the development of pediatric speech.
Currently, newborns are routinely screened for hearing loss, usually at 1 month, 3 months, and 6 months of age, and if the child does not pass the hearing screening, and structural anomalies are ruled out, the possibility of congenital sensorineural hearing loss should be considered.
A hearing loss of 60 decibels is considered moderate sensorineural hearing loss and early intervention is recommended. Hearing aids can be worn at an early stage to improve the child’s hearing, which can be more conducive to the learning and development of the child’s language function.
