Audiology
Certain conditions make a child more susceptible to hearing loss:
- Deafness in the family
- Premature birth
- Illness at or around time of birth
- Meningitis or encephalitis (infection of the brain and/or its coverings)
- Viral infections during pregnancy
- Birth defects of the ear, nose, face or neck
- History of ear infections
