Can hearing impairment caused by newborn jaundice be recovered?

Patient's question:

Doctor, the newborn is jaundiced, and due to shaking, they have now developed hearing impairment. We are all very worried, so I want to ask you, doctor, hello, can the hearing impairment caused by newborn jaundice be completely restored? Hello, can it be completely restored?

Doctor's answer:

If the hearing issue itself isn't the problem but rather caused by jaundice, once the jaundice subsides, the hearing will gradually and completely recover. This generally requires considering a visit to an otolaryngology department for examination. If organic inflammation is ruled out, in most cases, it can still improve. Since it's not visible online, it's currently difficult to make a definitive conclusion. It is recommended to follow the local doctor's advice for symptomatic treatment.
