Question
Can hearing impairment caused by neonatal jaundice be fully recovered?
Answer
If the hearing impairment itself is not a problem, but is caused by jaundice, it is usually fully recoverable as the jaundice subsides. This usually requires an examination by an otolaryngologist to rule out organic inflammation, and most cases can recover under most circumstances. Since online examinations are not possible, it is difficult to make a definitive conclusion, and it is recommended to follow the instructions of local doctors for symptomatic treatment.
