Answer to Question 1

1, 2, 3, 5, 6
Congenital hearing loss can be derived from genetics, natal infections, or physical deformities of the ear in addition to maternal ototoxic drug use and maternal TORCH infections that include toxoplasmosis, rubella, cytomegalovirus, and herpes virus type 2. Noise levels do not cause a congenital hearing loss.
