Question
Can a newborn’s stopped breathing lead to hearing loss recovery?
Answer
Hearing loss caused by a newborn’s stopped breathing may be related to cerebral palsy, primarily due to damage to the auditory nerve. The possibility of treatment is relatively low. Whether a newborn’s oxygen deprivation can recover depends on the severity of the deprivation. Severe oxygen deprivation can lead to brain damage, possibly resulting in cerebral palsy and hydrocephalus and other symptoms. It is recommended that parents observe their baby’s behavior more closely in the future, and seek timely treatment if any abnormal conditions are observed.
