Congenital deafness is preventable and treatable. Early screening, early diagnosis, early intervention, and early rehabilitation can be used for hearing reconstruction.
Professor Wu Wei said that the hearing reconstruction for congenital deaf children is a systematic project. Shanghai has confirmed the diagnosis and intervention of children with deafness from three aspects: maternal deafness gene screening, newborn hearing screening, and auditory speech rehabilitation training. A series of treatment rehabilitation programs have been developed for pre-marital, pre-pregnancy, pre-natal and post-partum periods. After more than ten years of hard work, more than 90% of children with congenital deafness received timely intervention and rehabilitation training, and their language and mental development reached normal levels. They successfully entered the ordinary school and integrated into the mainstream society to achieve “deaf but not dumb. ".
According to the statistics of the Shanghai Disabled Persons' Federation, before 2012, the number of new students in the school was about 50 to 60. The number of students enrolled in the school is less than 5 each year. Most of the children can enter the ordinary school and return to the society.
The target of hearing screening in China requires that the newborn should be screened by the Hearing Screening Center within one month after birth, whether it is in a hospital, a non-producing or a newborn born in a family. All those who have not passed the screening must start the corresponding audiology and other medical evaluation within 3 months to confirm the diagnosis. Those who are identified as permanent hearing impairment should be intervened within 6 months.
In addition, rescreening of patients with delayed deafness should not be ignored. Wu Wei said, "In the hearing screening of preschool children, it was found that some children had normal hearing at birth, but hearing loss occurred before school age, most of them were light and moderate. This phenomenon is very hidden, parent teacher It is often mistaken for children to have poor grades and slow response. This phenomenon can be caused by a variety of causes, such as delayed deafness associated with genetic inheritance, and possibly otitis media. Therefore, we advocate the promotion of preschool children. Hearing screening, timely intervention (hybrid hearing aids, etc.) for children with hearing impairments, so that children's language and intellectual development are not affected."
It is understood that the onset age of late-onset deafness can occur at 8-12 months at the earliest, and can occur at the latest after 4-5 years. Only after regular auditory monitoring and follow-up, it is possible to find this type early. Children with sexual or delayed deafness. In addition, familial, hereditary deafness can occur at school age or later, progressively worsening, which is more likely to be detected early by family, school and community hearing health personnel.
