<p>Certains bébés naissent avec des malformations des oreilles, que l’on appelle communément déficiences de naissance ou anomalies congénitales. Elles résultent d’un événement anormal qui s’est produit pendant le développement des oreilles du bébé en gestation. Voici les principaux exemples d’anomalies des oreilles. </p>
<h2>À retenir</h2> <ul><li>La déficience auditive congénitale est une perte auditive partielle ou totale au niveau d’une ou des deux oreilles.

<h2>Congenital hearing loss</h2> <p>Also referred to as congenital deafness, this is a partial or complete loss of hearing in one or both ears, due to abnormal development of the ears in pregnancy. Most cases of congenital hearing loss are genetically determined. Therefore, if you or your partner has a family history of congenital hearing loss, there is a chance that your baby could also develop this condition. If congenital deafness is a concern in your family, you may wish to speak with a genetic counsellor to determine your risks and options. Congenital hearing loss can also be caused by certain infections during pregnancy, such as rubella or toxoplasmosis. </p> <h2>Outer ear malformations</h2> <p>These are common, usually minor but sometimes severe abnormalities of the outer ear. Outer ear abnormalities can include shallow depressions or bumps called skin tags in or around the outer ear. Most chromosomal abnormalities have ear malformations as one of their features. </p>
