Suggest Treatment For Deafness In A Child Due To Bacterial Meningitis
Good afternoon. I am writing on behalf of my dear friend. Her son is just over three years old. He was hearing for the first six months of his life. He then contracted a several bacterial meningitis infection and acquired bilateral sensorineural deafness. Several standard treatments have been investigated and rejected or been ineffective. Hearing aids have proved to be unhelpful. My friend is a student of homeopathic and alternative treatments and it is her truest wish for her son to hear again. What information would I need to gather from her for you to be able to recommend a course of treatment?
Hi...the best treatment in this case will be a Cochlear implant. I suggest you move forward in that direction so that the child will be able to speak after the Cochlear implant and speech therapy.
