my sympathies - but the genetic issue you speak of is slim to none - it's no different than someone being born without an arm - their children are more than likely going to be healthy and have all their limbs - don't worry about your lil ones - but if it concerns you too much, contact your doctor

I believe you may be referring to one of 3 conditions: Microtia - undeveloped outer ear; Canal stenosis - a narrowing of the ear canal; or Aural atresia - bone separates the inner ear from external sound. All three are congenital and all three result in hearing loss. I expect that you had surgical repair as a child.
And, yes, it's true that these are congenital abnormalities present at birth and are not genetic and inherited. It's very unlikely that you would pass any of these on to any offspring you might have. I hope this eases your mind.

sure. There are people who effectively shrink or administration their indications on a similar time as no longer on drugs in any respect. it incredibly is relatively the "severe street" and you need to have an iron will to do it real, in spite of the incontrovertible fact that it incredibly is possible. I cope with without drugs, and that i comprehend quite a few different people who do as nicely. there have been people who've grow to be symptom unfastened without counsel from drugs, yet they are very very few and much between. EDIT: somebody under mentioned St John's Wort for bipolar and that's an incredibly undesirable theory. St John's Wort may bring about mania in bipolar human beings, only like all antidepressant. Omega-3 is a much greater effectual guess. It stabilizes the two ends of the temper spectrum, while St John's Wort in basic terms works on melancholy.

No. That was just chance that it happened to you. It could've happened to me, the president, or anyone else in the world. So don't worry about it.

This was a developmental and not hereditary defect and will not be passed on.

It could be, but this is just a layman's opinion, ask a doctor.
