WHAT CAUSES HEARING LOSS AND IS IT TREATABLE?
There are many causes (etiologies) for hearing loss and some hearing loss and associated ear symptoms are treatable depending on the etiology. Diagnosing the etiology of your hearing loss and ear symptoms, and determining if there is need for medical treatment, can only be achieved through Physician and Audiologist assessment. Anyone experiencing hearing loss and/or ear symptoms such as pain, pressure, noises, dizziness, balance difficulty or greater loss in one ear, should consult with their physician and have a complete diagnostic audiological evaluation, which can only be performed by a licensed Audiologist. Two of the most common causes of hearing loss are Presbycusis (ageing) and noise exposure. Wear your hearing protection devices, exercise and eat right!
