Was she hard of hearing before the surgery?

I can't imagine that the surgery or anesthetic could have caused deafness.  Keep using the eardrops and see if there is any improvement.

We adopted an 11-year-old who's deaf

I'm sorry that happened to your baby----was the deafness caused by the surgery?  I've never heard of that.

I really don't know much about it, because we only adopted sweet Professor a few months ago, but the most important

thing is to remember to NOT walk up behind him and scare him!  I forget MANY times that he can't hear me coming

up to him, and I'll be behind him and  go to pet his back or his head and I scare him...poor guy!  ...

.....

The GOOD things about him being deaf is that thunderstorms, fireworks, sirens, and other loud noises don't scare

him like they do Meaty and Sophie!  We had a VERRRRYYY loud thunderstorm the other night, and poor Meaty and

Sophie were frightened, but Professor was just happy and mellow and slept through the entire thing!  :-)  I hope

your baby is okay....!!
