conductive
acoustic
congenital
sensorineural

Explanation:

Congenital deafness refers to deafness present at birth. Ravon was born without the ability to hear, which matches the definition of congenital deafness. Conductive deafness is due to issues in the outer or middle ear (e.g., blockages). Acoustic is not a standard type of deafness classification in this context. Sensorineural deafness is related to damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve but the key here is the "born - with" aspect which points to congenital.

Answer:

congenital
