The type of jaundice you mentioned, that causes hearing problem is called "Kernicterus". It is a rare but serious complication of untreated jaundice in babies caused by excess bilirubin damaging the brain or central nervous system. Besides hearing problems, if left untreated, babie can suffer from learning difficulties in the future, poor development of teeth, involuntary twitching, problems maintaining normal eye movements and in worst case scenario, cerebral palsy. http://www.nhs.uk/Conditions/Jaundice-newborn/Pages/Complications.aspx
