Conductive Hearing Loss in Infants
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Conductive hearing loss in babies is a decrease in hearing that occurs when sound is not transmitted normally through the outer or middle ear. It is usually related to the presence of fluid, blockages, or abnormalities in these structures, and in many cases it is temporary.
Signs that may be noticed: little response to sounds or voices, delayed babbling or language, and inconsistent reactions to everyday noises.
Common causes: buildup of fluid in the middle ear, repeated infections, earwax plugs, or anatomical features present from birth.
Which specialist treats it? The otolaryngologist, in coordination with the pediatrician, evaluates the baby's hearing with studies appropriate to their age. If the little one is noticed not to react well to sounds, an early evaluation is a great help in supporting their development.
