Answers:
If you really have sensori-neural deafness, their is a rare chance that maternal smoking could have caused it. But depending on whether your hearing loss was present since birth or developed later, the causes can be maternal infections,toxins or radiation(X-ray) exposure or low-birth weight or infections in your childhood or congenital malformations when you were born.
It is very hard to tell the exact cause, but it is a meaningless exercise to try blame your mother. Don't forget that you came into this world because of her, she would never do any bad thing willingly if she knew it could harm you. there are many modalities of treatment for you, so don't lose hope. See an ENT surgeon as soon as possible.Health Question & Answer
