Is your deafness hereditary?Is congenital deafness hereditary?

Deafness is also a genetic condition, but everyone's physical condition is different, so the specific situation is also different, the problem of deafness is mostly caused by eardrum inflammation or eardrum damage hearing, usually pay attention to protect the ears, take a bath and wash your face to prevent water in the ear, and pay attention to light diet to prevent dryness and fire. It is recommended to open the windows frequently for ventilation to keep the indoor air fresh.

It mainly depends on what kind of deafness it is. Deafness is one of the most common genetic disorders. About 50% of deafness is related to genetic factors, and children account for an even greater proportion of deafness, with an average of 1 to 3 congenital deafness for every 1,000 newborns.

Because deafness is inherited, not everyone in the family will suffer from deafness. If there is vertical inheritance, that is, there are people with the disease in each generation;Some are recessive, and patients carry the deafness gene, but there are no signs of deafness;Some are manifested as "father to daughter, mother to son". In addition to deafness caused by alterations in genetic material, there are other types of deafness that are not hereditary, so there is no need to worry too much.

Quite possibly, be sure to pay attention. Hereditary deafness refers to deafness due to genetic and chromosomal abnormalities. This disease is caused by changes in the genetic material of the parents, including the chromosomes and the genes located in them, which are transmitted to the offspring, and occurs in a certain number of grandchildren.

One in every 1,000 newborns suffers from congenital deafness, of which more than 60 per cent is caused by genetic factors, and the population incidence of hereditary deafness has exceeded 27,1000, and hereditary deafness accounts for about 50 per cent of all deaf patients. Hereditary deafness is divided into two categories: syndromic deafness and non-syndromic deafness. The former refers to the presence of lesions in the eyes, bones, kidneys, ** and other parts at the same time in addition to deafness, which accounts for 30% of hereditary deafness;The latter present only the symptoms of deafness, which accounts for 70% of hereditary deafness.

Deafness is divided into primary and secondary. Whether it is genetic or not needs to be analyzed** before a conclusion can be made.

Congenital deafness generally refers to medically severe neurological deafness or neurological deafness, and there are two main causes: genetic and non-hereditary. The so-called heredity, that is, the genetic problem of the parents, the more refined medical term is called DNA problem, through heredity, the child happens to have an abnormality in this gene, so it causes deafness, which is more common.

In addition, the more common non-hereditary deafness is that there is no problem with the genes of the parents, and there is no problem with the genes of the children, mainly because there may be various reasons during pregnancy, such as viral infection, large blows and other environmental factors that lead to the decline of hearing function, resulting in the deafness of the child at birth. This is the cause of congenital deafness. Congenital deaf-mute people are generally deaf and lose the opportunity to learn to speak because they are completely deaf in both ears, so they are deaf and dumb, and some can be cured.

If you want to change, you need to have a cochlear implant, through which you can receive external sounds, but after an electronic cochlear implant, you need to undergo about three years of language training before you can communicate with people normally. People who are congenitally deaf can undergo cochlear implant surgery at the age of two, and three years of language training after surgery can restore hearing and normal communication.

There are two main causes of congenital deafness:

One is hereditary deafness;

The second is non-hereditary deafness, during pregnancy, the mother suffers from mumps, influenza and other viral infectious diseases, diabetes, nephritis and other diseases or takes certain drugs during pregnancy, which may affect the normal development of the fetal ear and cause deafness, so pregnant women should pay more attention during pregnancy.

Natural deafness is not necessarily inherited, it may be taken during pregnancy, it should not be caused by drugs, you should give the child a cochlear implant, I wish him hearing.

It's hard to say this, because now it may be heredity, it may be sudden content, that is, God is to look at those, but generally speaking, the possibility of heredity is greater.

If there is no deafness in the family, then congenital deafness, perhaps during pregnancy.
