Can screaming while you're pregnant cause deafness in your baby?

No: However the fetus inside the uterus can definitely "hear" the screaming and studies have shown that it is influenced by its' environment.

No: It does not cause deafness. Babies are insulated with amniotic fluid. Think of being under water and someone shouting...it's very difficult to hear.
