A member asked:
Can yelling at your newborn affect their hearing?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not necessarily: But it can affect their psyche. We are sensitive beings and a newborn if yelled at a lot may devlop fluid in the ears (so he/she cannot hear you) but not nerve hearing loss. Being yelled at can make a person even a baby feel insecure and unloved and unsafe. I am talking about a lot of yelling. Not just one outburst.
