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.

Deafness can be passed from parents to offspring through either genetic or non-genetic factors. Inheritance of a genetic mutation related to hearing loss, such as in the GJB2 gene, can cause congenital deafness in children. Non-genetic factors like infections during pregnancy or exposure to certain medications can also increase the risk of hearing loss in offspring.
Loud noises can damage the ear drum. Sometimes the cochlea can also be damaged which could cause permanant deafness. Wax in your ear canal can cause temporary deafness
