Partial Hearing Loss in Infants treatment in Santiago de Querétaro

Partial deafness in babies is a hearing loss in which the child hears some sounds but not all, which can affect their development of language and communication if it is not detected in time. It may be present from birth or appear later.

Signs that may point to it: the baby does not react to loud sounds, does not turn toward voices, is slow to babble, or does not respond to their name as they grow.

When to check it? Newborn hearing tests and attention to these signs are key, since early detection favors development.

Specialists who treat it: the pediatrician usually identifies the first concerns and the otolaryngologist studies hearing in depth. If you notice that your baby does not respond to sounds as you would expect, mentioning it at a visit opens the door to a timely evaluation.
