About 2 to 3 out of every 1,000 children in the United States are born with a detectable level of hearing loss in one or both ears. 1; More than 90 percent of deaf children are born to hearing parents. 2; Approximately 15% of American adults (37.5 million) aged 18 and over report some trouble hearing. 3
There are two causes of congenital deafness among children. One is the lack of hair cells, receptors in the inner ear that convert sounds into pulse signals that activate the auditory nerve. The second cause is a malfunction of the nerves. A child may be born with what appears to be a normal inner ear, but the hair cells do not communicate with the auditory nerves and the child cannot hear. To date, doctors have recommended the same treatment for all children born deaf.
