Anoxia is primarily associated with what type of impairment?

Hearing impairments
Brain injury
Vision impairments
Speech disorders

The correct answer is: Brain injury

Anoxia, which refers to a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching the tissues, is primarily associated with brain injury. When the brain does not receive adequate oxygen, it can suffer damage, leading to cognitive impairments, motor control issues, and various neurological deficits. The effects of anoxia can be profound and may result in conditions such as cerebral palsy, learning disabilities, and other challenges related to brain function. While hearing, vision, and speech issues can arise from other conditions or injuries, the critical impact of anoxia specifically highlights its strong connection to brain injury and its resultant impairments.
