Question
What could be the reasons for a newborn’s poor hearing?
Answer
Hearing loss can be caused by damage to the eardrum, which can often be treated with artificial eardrum implant surgery or by wearing hearing aids. A perforated eardrum due to trauma can usually heal on its own within a month if there is no subsequent infection and the size of the hole is not large, requiring no additional treatment. The eardrum has a rich network of interconnected blood vessels on both sides, which gives it a strong repair ability.
