Patient's question:
I would like to ask, my husband and I are both normal, but our son was diagnosed with congenital deafness. Why is this the case?Doctor's answer:
Hello, deafness can be divided into congenital deafness and acquired deafness according to the time of onset. Congenital deafness refers to deafness that occurs due to pathogenic factors during the mother's pregnancy, appearing immediately after the infant is born. Acquired deafness refers to deafness caused by various pathogenic factors after the infant is born. According to the cause, it can be divided into hereditary deafness, infectious deafness, toxic deafness, and traumatic deafness. According to the onset site, it can be divided into conductive deafness, sensorineural deafness, and mixed deafness. It is recommended to go to the hospital to identify the cause and receive symptomatic treatment.
