The short answer is no. Unfortunately, hearing loss is typically due to a lifetime of exposure to damaging sounds as well as genetic factors that tend to appear as we age. Once sensorineural hearing loss develops, it is a permanent condition. Conductive hearing losses can occasionally be corrected with medical or surgical intervention, but a complete hearing evaluation is necessary to determine what type of hearing loss you have.
