What are the treatment options for neonatal hearing loss?
Treatment options vary depending on the severity and cause of hearing loss. Common interventions include:
Hearing aids: These devices amplify sound and are suitable for mild to moderate hearing loss. Cochlear implants: For severe or profound hearing loss, cochlear implants can help by directly stimulating the auditory nerve. Speech and language therapy: Early intervention with speech and language therapy can help children develop communication skills. Sign language: Teaching sign language can be beneficial for children with significant hearing loss.
