Could aging cause hearing loss?
Yes, hearing loss often is a condition caused by ageing.
What can cause hearing loss at birth?
Hearing loss at birth can also be caused by pre-birth infections such as measles, cytomegalovirus, or herpes simplex virus.
What Is caused by damage to the eardrum or by constant exposure to loud noise?

What Caused by damage to the eardrum or by constant exposure to loud noise?
Hearing loss
Is permanet damage caused by loud noise?
It's possible to have permanent hearing loss.
How can a bacterial infection cause hearing loss?
Sudden hearing loss--at least 30dB in less than three days--is most commonly caused by cochleitis, a mysterious viral infection.
Which type of hearing loss develops when the auditory nerve or hair cells in the inner ear are damaged?
Sensorineural hearing loss develops when the auditory nerve or hair cells in the inner ear are damaged. This type of hearing loss is typically permanent and can be caused by factors like aging, genetics, exposure to loud noise, and certain medical conditions.
What is the most common type of hearing loss?
The most common type of hearing loss is conductive hearing loss, which occurs when sound waves cannot efficiently travel through the outer ear canal to the eardrum and the tiny bones of the middle ear. This can be caused by factors such as ear infections, fluid buildup, or blockages from earwax. Conductive hearing loss is often treatable, and in many cases, hearing can be restored through medication or surgery. Other types of hearing loss, such as sensorineural or mixed hearing loss, can also occur but are less common.
What are the causes of high frequency hearing loss?
High frequency hearing loss can be caused by exposure to loud noises, aging, genetic factors, certain medications, and diseases like Meniere's disease or otosclerosis.
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.
What type of hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the auditory nerve?
When there is damage to the auditory nerve, it results in sensorineural hearing loss. This type of hearing loss affects the inner ear or the neural pathways to the brain, leading to difficulties in hearing sounds clearly and understanding speech, especially in noisy environments. Unlike conductive hearing loss, which involves issues in the outer or middle ear, sensorineural hearing loss is often permanent and can be caused by factors such as aging, exposure to loud noise, or certain medical conditions.
