Can being hit as baby cause deafness? I know of a fella who says he was abused as a kid of one year old and?

it caused his deafness. Can this be true?

As a personal opinion I think it is entirely possible but I do not know of any studies which can confirm this scientifically..;

Yes if damage was done to his ears it certainly can cause deafness.

Yes indeed. Did you know Beethoven was deaf? His father beat him repeatedly in the head until his hearing was gone.

He wrote all his music DEAF.

ABSOLUTELY!!!! Slapping a child in the head can burst the ear drum. The mechanism in the ear consists of the smallest bones in the body and can easily be damaged.
