Why are babies born with no hearing?

Answer 1

Babies are born with hearing. They have fully functional ears, but they are just learning how to use them.

Some babies are born with no hearing, as a birth defect. They may recover their hearing, and they may not.

Answer 2

This is a myth. A child born deaf is physically able to speak vocally. The problem is that without exposure to sound, it's a difficult task to teach the child how to vocalize (although it can be done).

Answer 3

Yep. Anyone can. They learn to lip read and it snowballs from there.
