Post-natal exposure to tobacco smoke has been correlated with much higher rates of middle ear infections in children, which causes temporary (and occasionally permanent) hearing loss, but not the type that you have.

So unless you were premature or a small baby, the smoking probably has nothing to do with your hearing loss. Kim

Best of luck. wait and see

Some studies have shown that smoking during pregnancy may harm the child’s mental development and behaviour, leading to a short attention span and hyperactivity. Other research shows that certain birth defects may be more common in babies whose mother smoked during pregnancy. For example, one study showed that mothers who smoked 20 or more cigarettes per day were more than twice as likely to have babies born with a cleft lip and/or palate. The same researchers also found that infants were eight times as likely to have a cleft lip and/or palate if they were genetically predisposed and if their mother smoked.

Finally, the further into pregnancy a woman smokes, the greater her risk of complications. For example, if a pregnant woman stops smoking during the first half of her pregnancy, her baby will most likely be born a normal weight. If she continues to smoke throughout the pregnancy, she’ll probably have a low-birthweight baby

Which i find to be a load of crap.
my doctor told me that smoking during pregnancy isnt as bad as you think as long as you dont smoke 1-2 packs a day. my doctor gave me the ok (so did my best friends doctor and she smoked through all 3 of her pregnancies and her kids are so healthy) to smoke only 1-2 cigs a day!!!! im not kidding, just one to two cigs a day. my doctor told me that quitting completely would put so much stress on me and the baby, that it could potentially harm the baby. talk with your doctor, but ive heard so many doctors giving the ok to smoke one to two cigs a day, just dont be smoking a whole pack!!
my son when he was born was the healthest baby in the nursery and i did what my doctor recommended, smoked one to two cigs a day.

please dont listen to all these women who are going to give you the third degree for smoking while pregnant, they’ve obvisouly never been addicted to anything, or know anything about smoking while pregnant… where is their degree in medicine? not saying i have one, but ive contacted and spoke with over 25 doctors about smoking when pregnant.

the say that you will deliever a preterm/low weight baby? i went full term, and i had a healthy 7lb 3oz baby… and he is still as healthy as can be at 4months old (weighing 20lbs… which is from what the doc says, a great weight for him… )

and for all these girls saying that the babies were born with problems, whats to say that it had anything to do with smoking? there could have been something else that cause those disabilities, it could have even been genetic… so dont sit there and link all these problems to smoking, you dont have a medical degree! andrew’s mommy

Just smoke outside. Mafia
