Hello
It seems from the history that your baby with rubella infection had cataract in both the eyes for which she was treated.
Rubella infection is also known to cause sensorineural deafness, hence this requires evaluation by a ENT surgeon for treatment accordingly.

Hence I advice you to consult ENT doctor for examination and treatment accordingly.

Thank you
