A patient with mild hearing impairment may have problems understanding speech, especially if there is a lot of noise around, while those with moderate deafness may need a hearing aid. Some people are severely deaf and depend on lip-reading when communicating with others.

I do not think your grandchild has autism, but I only have an interest in it. You say he has speech problems, but did not exactly say he has hearing problems, except you wrote "children with hearing problems can have behavior problems." Anyhow, even if it's just speech problems, and especially if it's also hearing problems, this is why your child did not do well socially at the school and why he plays his own games.

First he needs to be evaluated by a GI specialist to rule out medical problems for his feeding difficulties. He also should be evaluated by speech and occupational therapies, as he may have oral motor problems or texture aversions - and these can be treated. Second, he needs a good hearing evaluation - human speech is at a different decibel level than most other sounds and some hearing problems can impact only those decibels.

Diseases of the brainstem can result to abnormalities in the function of cranial nerves which may lead to visual disturbances, pupil abnormalities, changes in sensation, muscle weakness, hearing problems, vertigo, swallowing and speech difficulty, voice change, and co-ordination problems".

In more severe cases, patients may experience problems with speech or hearing, double vision, hallucinations, personality changes, loss of consciousness, loss of sensation in some parts of the body, muscle weakness, partial paralysis in the arms and legs, sudden severe dementia, impaired judgment, seizures, and memory loss.
Outcome generally depends on the particular infectious agent involved, the severity of the illness, and how quickly treatment is given.
There are three parts of speech--- articulation (making the sounds) is one we all think of with speech. but there is also receptive speech (the ability to take in and organize what is said to you so that you can understand it) and expresssive (the ability to formulate the thoughts you want to express, to organize those thoughts into words to speak). Motor planning has a huge impact on these speech componants.

Our 2yr 10 mon old son has not developed any speech. He doesn’t understand any instruction. He doesn’t respond to his name most of the times. He can express very limited needs nonverbally (take someone by hand and show water or cookies). He doesn’t understand pointing at things. He throws violent tantrums and bangs his head without any apparent reason. He spends most of his time running around or climbing when he has a good mood. He doesn’t have any interest in nutritious food.
