Hearing Impairments

Hearing impairments are relatively rare in CP. Sensorineural hearing loss is most commonly associ­ated with congenital TORCH (toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes) infections, bacterial meningitis, and ototoxic drugs. In the past, kernict­erus was a relatively common cause of sensorineural deafness in athetoid CP.
