Foreign body cerumen blockage in the ear: Newborns may have amniotic fluid or tissue secretion in the ear, which affects sound conduction and leads to the failure of the hearing test. It is recommended to remove the foreign body from the ear, and then return to the clinic in time to have the hearing test repeated. 2. Neurological deafness: The auditory nervous system can be damaged by abnormal genes during the mother’s pregnancy and delivery, resulting in hearing loss and deafness, and the symptoms of neurological deafness include hearing loss, tinnitus, vertigo and nausea. 3.
