I am married. I have 25 years old. And my husband has 29 years old. Now I am pregnant. But my husband had tinnitus in left ear before 10 years.Then  he had done surgery to recover tinnitus. After the surgery, he has hearing loss as the side effect of operation for the left ear. I have a doubt that  “ is this type of tinnitus is inherited to our baby and if yes how many percentages will get tinnitus for my baby?” we are very tensed really. Is there any hearing loss problem is inherited to my baby? If yes, how much  percent probability get a hearing loss?

    It depends i guess, my father has tinnitus due to circulation problems, another sister has it due to ottitis on the external ear, i got it due to noise or a infection, (still dont know) the case is, we have a dediciency in the ears and it maybe a genetic problem, but thats just my thought, i hope you baby doesnt get it, its hell for us with it, i have a 3rd scenario and its not good at all, i went to a club to relax and here i am, paying the consequences, i hope it gets better!
