Answer
Hello: Your question is not severe. I suggest you go to the relevant department for examination and diagnosis. Hearing impairments in newborns can be treated according to different types. For newborns with some conductive hearing loss: after treating external and middle ear inflammation and nasal obstruction, they can recover; for infants with mild to moderate sensorineural hearing loss: hearing aids can be worn; for infants with severe sensorineural hearing loss, cochlear implantation is needed, followed by language training.
