Hipoacusia en bebés - Prevention

Nombres alternativos

Sordera parcial en bebés; Deterioro de la audición en los bebés; Hipoacusia conductiva en los bebés; Hipoacusia neurosensorial en los bebés; Hipoacusia central en bebés

Prevención:

No es posible prevenir todos los casos de hipoacusia en los bebés.

Las mujeres que estén planeando quedar en embarazo deben asegurarse de tener todas las vacunas al día.

Las mujeres embarazadas deben consultar con su médico antes de tomar cualquier medicamento. Si usted está embarazada, evite actividades que pueden exponer a su bebé a infecciones peligrosas como la toxoplasmosis.

Si usted o su pareja tienen antecedentes familiares de hipoacusia, tal vez desee recibir asesoría genética antes de quedar en embarazo.
