The main cause of deafness in children can be attributed to genetic factors, which account for approximately half of all cases. Other significant causes include congenital infections (such as cytomegalovirus), complications during birth, and exposure to ototoxic medications. Additionally, environmental factors, such as chronic ear infections or excessive noise exposure, can also contribute to hearing loss in children. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for effective management and support.
