What is the cause of congenital deafness?

Genetic factors: if parents suffer from congenital deafness, children are more likely to suffer from congenital deafness. Of course, not all children will suffer from this disease. Secondly, if some close relatives marry, it is easy to lead to congenital deafness. In addition, if the fetal ear tissue is abnormal, we should also pay attention to the occurrence of congenital deafness, which can be recovered by corrective surgery.

Drug poisoning: if pregnant women take harmful drugs during pregnancy, such as gentamicin, quinine and other toxic drugs, the general drugs will pass through the placenta and then enter the body of the fetus, resulting in poisoning of the seventh cranial nerve of the fetus, leading to the occurrence of deafness. If the mother has been anesthetized during pregnancy, it will also have a great impact on fetal hearing.

Disease damage: if one of the parents suffers from sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, gonorrhea and so on, these sexually transmitted diseases may cause the child to suffer from congenital deafness. If the mother has rubella and other infections in the third month of pregnancy, the virus can enter the placenta, thus threatening the fetus, leading to the occurrence of congenital deafness.
