There are two types of hearing problems in children, the first is temporary hearing loss, and the second is permanent hearing problems. Temporary hearing loss usually heals within a few months.
Permanent hearing loss is a serious problem that affects children for several reasons, most notably genetic factors. There are many indicators by which parents can notice that the baby is able to hear normally, for example, newborns up to the age of 8 weeks can be seen stunned or their eyes widen when sudden noise occurs near them.
