CAUSES OF HEARING LOSS

CAUSES OF HEARING LOSS

‎_AGING: Gradual hearing loss often occurs as people get older due to natural wear and tear of the inner ear structures.  

‎_EXPOSURE TO LOUD NOISE: Continuous exposure to loud music, machinery, headphones, or workplace noise can damage the tiny hair cells in the ear that help you hear.  

‎_EAR INFECTIONS AND DISEASES: Recurrent ear infections, fluid buildup, or illnesses like meningitis can lead to temporary or permanent hearing loss.  

‎_EARWAX BUILDUP: Excess earwax can block the ear canal and reduce sound transmission, causing temporary hearing problems.  

‎_GENETIC FACTORS: Some people inherit genes that make them more likely to develop hearing loss at an early age or later in life.  

‎_MEDICATIONS: Certain drugs like some antibiotics, chemotherapy medicines, or high doses of aspirin, can damage hearing over time.  

‎_HEAD OR EAR INJURY: A blow to the head or a perforated eardrum can affect the structures responsible for hearing.  

‎_CHRONIC HEALTH CONDITIONS: Diseases like diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart disease can reduce blood flow to the ears and impair hearing.
