The Genetics of Infant Hearing Loss
from http://www.cdc.gov
Hearing loss has many causes: some are environmental (such as certain infections in the mother during pregnancy, or infections in the newborn baby), and some are genetic. A combination of environmental factors and genes also could cause hearing loss.

Universal Screening for Hearing Loss in Newborns
from http://www.ahrq.gov
Children with hearing loss have increased difficulties with verbal and nonverbal communication skills, increased behavioral problems, decreased psychosocial well-being, and lower educational attainment compared with children with normal hearing. Because half of the children with hearing loss have no identifiable risk factors, universal screening (instead of targeted screening) has been proposed to detect children with permanent congenital hearing loss (PCHL). There is good evidence that newborn hearing screening testing is highly accurate and leads to earlier identification and treatment of infants with hearing loss.

Update: Risk of Bacterial Meningitis in Children with Cochlear Implants January 2006
from http://www.cdc.gov
Many people have received cochlear implants to help them hear and communicate. CDC and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) carried out a study in 2002 to learn more about a possible link between cochlear implants and bacterial meningitis in children with cochlear implants. This study found that bacterial meningitis occurred more often in children with all types of cochlear implants than in children of the same age group in the general population.
