DIAGNOSIS OF OTONEUROLOGICAL SYMPTOMS AND SYNDROMES IN YOUNG CHILDREN

Abstract

Hearing loss in children is a congenital or acquired pathology in which the level of sound perception is reduced. Unlike deafness, with hearing loss, hearing is only partially lost. The child can hear sounds and distinguish them, but the threshold of perception is significantly increased. The development of the pathological process is associated with intrauterine pathologies, genetic abnormalities and other factors.

Hearing loss affects the child’s intellectual development, speech development, ability to speak normally and express one’s own thoughts. The nature of treatment for hearing loss depends on the cause of the disorder.
