To answer this question, you have to first separate ears from hearing.

The anatomical structure of the ear can be damaged by trauma, genetic disorders

or malformations, or diseases.


Typically, anything that damages the ear can damage hearing. However, other things that can damage hearing without necessarily damaging the anatomy of the ear are ototoxic agents (chemicals that can damage cells of the hearing organs), exposure to very loud noise or infections of the inner ear, or tumors or growths of impacting the central auditory nervous system.
