There are so many factors that can lead to hearing impairment which are;

  • Pre-natal (before birth)
  • Perinatal (during birth) and
  • Postnatal (after birth)

1.Prenatal causes
The prenatal period is from the time of conception to delivery. At this period, the following condition could lead to deafness.

  • maternal diseases: eg German measles, influenza, maternal syphillis, whooping couph and dome viral diseases.
  • Drugs taken by the mother: During pregnancy is not every drugs that the prospective mother can take, the toxic of the drugs has a harmful infect on the unborn child.
  • Rhesus factor (Rh): Rh positive mixed with Rh negative.
  • Hereditary: A family that has history of deafness from parents or ground parents to children, children children.
  • Malnutrition: A pregnant mother needs nutrients, a healthy food and good medication to aid a proper body building of the baby inside the womb.
  • Toxic Substance All the pregnant mother should be void of alcohol (smoking and taking in of bear) this does more harm to the baby health than good.

2. Perinatal Causes: This starts from during labour till the arrival of the baby.

  • Compressing of the child head during birth.
  • Delayed labour causes a child to suffer Anoxia or cut-off of oxygen supply from the mother to the baby.
  • The use of instruments to aid delivery that is the misuse of forceps.
  • Birth fall: when the child falls down after delivery at the labour room.
  • Antiproton hemorrhage or bleeding from the genital track during delivery.
  • Placenta detachment: unable to carefully detach the placenta.

3. Postnatal Causes: this stage is after safe delivery till old age.

  • Accident/falls: constant falls or accident could lead to hearing loss especially when the fall affects the head.
  • Sickness: childhood diseases such as measles, influenza, fever, diphtheria, meningitis etc.
  • Ritnopathy of prematurity or after effect of prematurity.
  • malnutrition
