Wees op die uitkyk vir tekens dat jou baba nie kan hoor nie, en re\u00ebl om hom of haar deur \u2018n oudioloog te laat ondersoek.<\/p>\n<p>Wees op die uitkyk vir hierdie vroe\u00eb waarskuwingstekens volgens ouderdom: <span>.<\/span> Geboorte: Skrik jou kind vir harde geluide en maak hy\/sy baba-geluide?<span>.<\/span> Op drie maande: Glimlag jou kind wanneer jy met hom praat en babbel hy?<span>.<\/span> Ses maande: Draai jou kind na die kant waar geluide vandaan kom en het hy\/sy al met klank begin eksperimenteer?<span>.<\/span> Nege maande tot een jaar: Kyk jou kind op wanneer jy roep? Skep jou kind \u201cspraakagtige\u201d klanke met enkele lettergrepe aanmekaar geryg soos da-da-da-da?<span>.<\/span> Een tot jaar: Verstaan jou kind eenvoudige frases? Het jou kind \u2019n woordeskat van tussen 20 en 50 woorde en gebruik jou kind kort frases?<span>.<\/span> Twee tot vier jaar: Verstaan jou kind \u2019n gesprek maklik en gebruik jou kind twee tot drie woorde in sinne?<span>.<\/span> Vier tot ses jaar: Dink almal wat jou kind ken, dat hy\/sy goed hoor? Is jou kind in staat om inligting oor te dra en vrae te vra?<\/p>\n<p>Indien jy \u201cnee\u201d op enige van hierdie vrae geantwoord het, word dit sterk aanbeveel dat jy dadelik raad inwin. Behandeling sal afhang van jou baba se algemene gesondheid, die oorsaak van gehoorverlies en graad van gehoorverlies. As jou baba gehoorverlies het, is dit belangrik om so gou as moontlik met behandeling te begin \u2013 voor ses kan dit hom \/haar help om spraak-, taal- en sosiale vaardighede te ontwikkel. Na gelang van die diagnose kan behandeling die volgende insluit: Kogle\u00eare inplanting, oorpypies, gehoorapparaat, aanleer van spesiale taalvaardighede, medisyne (insluitend antibiotika), spraakterapie en chirurgie. <\/p>\n<p>Sommige soorte gehoorverlies, soos gehoorverlies wat deur gene veroorsaak word, kan nie voorkom word nie, maar jy kan help om gehoorverlies, wat verband hou met ander oorsake soos infeksies en vroeggeboorte, te voorkom. Gaan na al jou voorgeboorte-ondersoeke tydens swangerskap en beskerm jouself teen infeksies. Neem jou baba vir al sy \/haar ondersoeke en inentings n\u00e1 geboorte en kry vroe\u00eb behandeling vir oorinfeksies. <\/p>\n<p>Hou ook jou baba weg van harde geluide. <\/p>\n<p>Gehoorverlies is nie die einde van die w\u00eareld nie; dit is \u2019n nuwe w\u00eareld wat oopgaan. Met die regte voorbereiding, ondersteuning en leiding kan jou kind steeds \u2019n vol lewe lei en enigiets behaal.<span>.<\/span> Besoek www.nid.org.za of stuur e-pos na lynettevictor@nid.org.za vir
