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.
