How can infections affect hearing?
Often there will be a temporary hearing loss during an ear infection which clears up when the infection is cured; this hearing loss is caused by a temporary accumulation of fluid and particles and pressure in the ear which prevents the structures of the middle ear and inner ear from functioning properly. In a severe infection, disease organisms such as viruses and bacteria destroy tissue in your body. In the case of an infection in your throat or your intestines, your body can quickly regrow the damaged tissue. If tissue in the ear is destroyed, the body has no mechanism for replacing it; the damage is permanent.

How is hearing diagnosed?
that depends on the type of suspected hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is blocked from the inner ear . Excessive earwax and fluid in the middle ear are the most common causes. A doctor can easily diagnose this problem by looking into the ear canal. Excessive wax can be removed (NEVER do this yourself). Fluid in the middle ear, usually caused by colds or allergies are treatable. This loss is temporary. Sensory-neural loss is caused by the permanent damage to nerves in the inner ear. This loss is unavoidable over our lifetime so excessive noise should be avoided.The degree of hearing loss is meaured by an audiologist, using earphones in a sound-proof booth. Depending on the loss, hearing aids may be recommended. Hearing loss is usually gradual but exposure to excessive noise can quicken the loss. Any noise loud enough to make your ears ring has caused permanent damage.
