'Meningitis' Bacteria Responsible for hearing loss amongst children!

Till now we were nurturing the idea that hearing-loss only takes its toll in old age. However, now, children are also getting under the grip of hearing-loss problem that can be caused by a bacterium called ‘meningitis.’

Moreover, the risk of hearing loss may increase due to hospitalization of child for a longer period, development of fits, raised level of cerebrospinal fluid protein and a lower level of cerebrospinal fluid glucose.

Thus, parents need to get their child’s ears clean once a week by a specialist and if they sense any problem, in either ears, immediately consult doctor, otherwise it may affect the child in long run.
