Does newborn jaundice affect hearing?

Patient's question:

Born 5 days later, admitted to the hospital for 4 days due to neonatal jaundice. At discharge, the patient's hearing was slightly reduced.

Doctor's answer:

For patients with pathological jaundice, they should be sent to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment. In addition to treating the underlying disease, phototherapy, traditional Chinese medicine, oral phenobarbital and caffeine, or exchange transfusion can be used to reduce serum bilirubin levels. The treatment method is determined by the doctor.
