In addition, it was found that there was significant relation between degree of hearing loss and mode of delivery (p- value was 0.006) and number of previous pregnancies (p- value was 0.044). There was no statistically significant relation between degree of hearing loss and trauma during pregnancy, maternal hypertension, maternal DM and bleeding during pregnancy (p- value was >0.05). Also, there was no statistically significant relation between degree of hearing loss and maternal drugs, term, PROM, prolonged labor, consanguinity as well as family history (p- value was >0.05), Conclusion; hearing loss was related to maternal infection, bilateral hearing loss was higher and related to increased number of previous pregnancies, there was significant relation between degree of hearing loss and mode of delivery and number of previous pregnancies.
