Patient's question:
Can a baby's hearing impairment be restored?Doctor's answer:
The cause of a baby's hearing impairment can be either congenital or acquired, and the results differ depending on the cause. If a pregnant woman takes medication that is harmful to the auditory nerve during pregnancy, it may lead to congenital deafness in the child. For patients with otitis media complicated by labyrinthitis, antibiotics and surgical treatment should be applied. If deafness is caused by a tumor in the pons and cerebellar angle, surgical treatment should be performed. Due to drug toxicity, the medication should be stopped immediately.
