He pilikia anei ka lohe o kāu keiki? (Childhood Hearing Loss) Mai hopohopo, e makaʻala kākou i kēia.

Ma ke ʻano he makuahine a makua kāne paha, pehea ka nui o kāu kamaʻilio ʻana me kāu keiki? Ke ʻakaʻaka nui nei ʻoe? Ke hoʻāʻo nei ʻoe e kiʻi i ko lākou manaʻo ma ka hana ʻana i kahi leo pāʻani? Akā, ua ʻike anei ʻoe i kekahi manawa, ʻoiai ke kamaʻilio a lohe paha ʻoe i kahi leo, ʻaʻole pane mai kāu keiki iā ia? He mea maʻamau ke manaʻo iki i ka makaʻu ke ʻike ʻoe i kahi mea e like me kēia. Manaʻo mākou ʻo ka ʻike ka mea nui loa iā mākou. Akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, hiki i ka nalowale o ka lohe ʻana i ka wā ʻōpiopio ke loaʻa ka hopena nui i ka ʻōlelo a me ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻōlelo a ke keiki. Akā ʻo ka nūhou maikaʻi, me ka ʻenehana holomua o kēia wā, hiki iā mākou ke ʻike i nā hemahema o ka lohe ʻana i loko o kahi pēpē liʻiliʻi i ka wā hānau, mālama iā lākou, a hoʻopaʻa i ka wā e hiki mai ana o ke keiki.

No ke aha e kuli ai nā keiki ʻōpio? He aha nā kumu?

I ka ʻōlelo maʻalahi, ua māhele ʻia ko kākou pepeiao i ʻekolu ʻāpana. ʻO ia ka pepeiao o waho, ka pepeiao waena, a me ka pepeiao o loko. Hiki ke hoʻokaʻawale ʻia nā hemahema o ka lohe i ʻelua ʻano nui ma muli o nā pilikia e kū mai ana ma kēia mau ʻāpana.

1. Ka Poho Lohe Alakaʻi: ʻO kēia ka wā e hoʻouna pono ʻole ai kekahi mea i loko o ka pepeiao waho a waena paha i nā nalu kani i ka lolo. Me he mea lā he ālai ʻia ke alanui. Hiki ke mālama pinepine ʻia a ho'ōla ʻia kēia ʻano.

2. Ka Poho Lohe Neural: ʻO ka pilikia ma ʻaneʻi aia ma ka pepeiao o loko. Pili ia i ka hōʻino ʻana i nā aʻalolo koʻikoʻi loa e ʻike ai i ke kani (nā aʻalolo auditory). He ʻano paʻakikī kēia a hiki ke paʻakikī loa ke mālama.

Nui nā kumu no ka nalowale o ka lohe i nā keiki. Hiki i kekahi o lākou ke lilo i mau maʻi genetic i hoʻoili ʻia mai kēlā hanauna a i kēia hanauna . Eia kekahi, hiki i kekahi mau maʻi i loaʻa i ka makuahine i ka wā hāpai, nā maʻi pepeiao i ke keiki (nā maʻi pepeiao), a me nā ʻeha poʻo ke hoʻopilikia iā ia. Eia naʻe, i kekahi manawa, ʻaʻole paha e loaʻa kahi kumu kikoʻī .

ʻO kekahi hoʻoweliweli ʻē aʻe, ʻaʻole i noʻonoʻo nui ʻia, akā he mea koʻikoʻi loa ia, ʻo ia ka walaʻau nui . Ua ʻike ʻia kahi noiʻi i ka makahiki 2001 he ʻoi aku ma mua o 5 miliona mau keiki ʻAmelika he mau ʻano like ʻole o ka nalowale o ka lohe ma muli o ka ʻike ʻia ʻana o ka walaʻau nui. Manaʻo mākou he kumu wale nō ka walaʻau o ka wahi hana no ka nalowale o ka lohe. Akā, ehia mau walaʻau ʻē aʻe e hiki ke hōʻeha i nā pepeiao o nā keiki? E noʻonoʻo i ke mele nui (ʻoi aku hoʻi mai nā headphone) , nā mokokaikala, a me ka walaʻau o nā mīkini like ʻole—hiki i kēia mau mea āpau ke hōʻino i nā pepeiao koʻikoʻi o ke keiki.

Pehea e hiki ai ke ʻike ʻia kēia kūlana ma mua?

ʻO ka mea nui loa ma kēia hihia, ʻo ia ka ʻike mua ʻana . He waiwai nui nā makahiki mua o ka ulu ʻana o ka ʻōlelo a ke keiki. ʻAʻole pono e hoʻonele ʻia kēlā manawa.

Ma ke ʻano he mau mākua, hiki iā ʻoe ke makaʻala i kēia. E makaʻala i nā hōʻailona aʻe:

• ʻAʻole anei e lele a hoʻopūʻiwa paha ka pēpē i kahi leo nui koke ?
• Ke ʻōlelo mai kou makuahine mai kahi mamao aku , ʻaʻole anei ʻoe e huli aʻe i kou poʻo e nānā i ke kuhikuhi i puka mai ai ka leo?
• ʻAʻole anei ʻoe e hoʻāʻo nei e hana i nā leo liʻiliʻi a kamaʻilio ma ke ʻano kūpono i ka makahiki o ke keiki ? (e.g. ʻaʻole e hana pēlā i ka makahiki o ke kamaʻilio ʻana)

Inā ʻike ʻoe i kahi mea e like me kēia, he mea nui loa e nīnau koke aku i kāu kauka pediatric a i ʻole ke kauka ENT, ma mua o ka manaʻo wale ʻana "e maikaʻi aʻe ia me ka manawa." Me ka ʻenehana o kēia au, hiki ke hana ʻia nā hoʻokolohua lohe ma kahi pēpē i kekahi mau hola ma hope o ka hānau ʻana.

He aha nā lāʻau lapaʻau a me nā mea hana i loaʻa no kēia?

ʻO ke ʻano o ka mālama ʻana ma muli o ke kumu o ka nalowale o ka lohe. ʻOkoʻa ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻano ʻelua a mākou i kūkākūkā ai ma mua. No ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kēia, e nānā i ka papa ma lalo.

Nā ala hou e hoʻomaikaʻi ai i ka ʻōlelo a me ke aʻo ʻana o kāu keiki

Ma waho aʻe o ka hoʻōla ʻana, aia nā ʻenehana hou i kēia manawa e hiki ke kōkua i nā keiki me nā pilikia lohe e aʻo maikaʻi i loko o kahi lumi papa maʻamau. No ka mea, aʻo kēlā me kēia keiki i ka ʻōlelo ma ka lohe ʻana iā ia ma ke kaiapuni a puni lākou.

• ʻŌnaehana FM pilikino: He mea hoihoi loa kēia. E noʻonoʻo, ke ʻōlelo nei ke kumu ma ka lumi papa i loko o kahi microphone, a hele pololei ke kani i ke kōkua hoʻolohe ma ka pepeiao o ke keiki me ka ʻole o ke keakea ʻana. A laila hiki i ke keiki ke kālele piha i ka haʻawina me ka ʻole o ka hoʻopilikia ʻia e nā leo o nā keiki ʻē aʻe ma ka lumi papa a i ʻole nā ​​​​leo o waho.
• Nā polokalamu kamepiula: Ua hana ʻia nā kumu aʻo kamepiula 3D e like me 'Baldi'. Ke aʻo aku nei kēia kanaka kamepiula i nā huaʻōlelo i ke keiki ma ka hoʻoneʻe ʻana i kona waha, nā niho, a me kona alelo me ka pololei. ʻAʻole e like me nā mākua a me nā kumu, hiki i kēia mau polokalamu kamepiula ke hana hou i ka huaʻōlelo hoʻokahi i nā haneli he nui me ka ʻole o ka luhi.

Hōʻike kēia mau mea a pau, ʻoiai inā he keiki ka mea i loaʻa ka pilikia o ka lohe, loaʻa i ke ao nei ka ʻenehana a me ka ʻike e pono ai ke aʻo, ʻōlelo, a noho hauʻoli e like me nā mea ʻē aʻe me ka ʻole o ka lilo ʻana i mea keakea i ko lākou ola. ʻO ka mea nui loa, ʻo ia ka ʻike o kākou, ma ke ʻano he mau mākua, iā ia a lawe i nā hana kūpono i ka manawa kūpono.
