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 different causes lead to different outcomes. If a pregnant woman takes medication that is harmful to the auditory nerve during pregnancy, it may result in 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-induced deafness, the medication should be stopped immediately.
