Asking for Other, Male, 2.5 years old, Karachi
My son is of 2.5 years. According to BERA test he has severe hearing issue. Neurologist says he does not hear but we think he can as he can speak few words and respond on some music or instructions. He has delayed milestone achievements as he had jaundice when he was only 6 days. His blood exchange was done. ENT and neurologist suggested his cochlear implant. Its tough decision to take specially when we feel that he listens. Please advise what to do?
Basically basic decessions by the concerned paediatrician , he knows due to icteric how much damage happened to brain, what is his present developmental age, so ENT only can implant not other issues, so sir with paediatrician and discuss matter
Severe Jaundice can cause permanent hearing loss and if the tests confirm it then please follow neurologist/ENT advice. Persistent hearing impairment may cause speech delay.
His hearing has been affected by deep jaundice will need cochlear implant early otherwise he may have affected speech
