Pediatrician,  's  Response
Thanks for posting your query at HealthCareMagic. APGAR score of 8 at the time of birth is good. She probably has been suffering from a condition called chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) due to her adoids. Our ear has three parts. The ear drum separates the outer and middle compartments. There is a narrow tube deep inside that connects the throat with the middle compartment. This tube often gets blocked when the adenoids increase in size. As a result the air pressure inside the middle ear cannot get balanced and creates a suction force on the eardrum. It also may cause an infection to accumulate in the middle ear. A small tube called gromet may be placed on the eardurm in order to equalise the pressure. The gromet will come out on its own.

So, I hope that you now understand how the infections (CSOM) was being caused and what has been done to take care of the situation. This CSOM was the cause of her hearing loss. If there is no other cause of hearing loss, her hearing is expected to come back to normal after the infection subsides.

I hope that helps. Feel free to revert back in case of further queries if any.
