Unfortunately, in most cases hearing loss does not improve. However, some types of hearing loss can be caused by problems which may be treated medically, such as ear infections or a perforated ear-drum. These types of loss can often improve. If the loss is a nerve loss, as is most hearing loss, it is not likely to get better.
Depends on the cause of hearing loss. If the loss is conductive - ie. caused by a problem with the ear canal, ear drum, bones behind the ear or middle ear cavity, there is a good chance that it could be treated surgically. If the hearing loss is due to changes in the nerves (sensorineural hearing loss) then there is no surgical, medical or alternative treatment that will improve the hearing. An audiologist will be able to tell you if your results indicate that you have a conductive, sensorineural or mixed (both types) loss.
The scientific term for deafness is "hearing loss" or "hearing impairment." It can be categorized based on the severity and type, such as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss.
No. Hearing loss depends on the decibel listened to and the period of time. Everyone is prone to having hearing loss.
The term "a spell of deafness" can mean a period of temporary hearing loss. A "spell of deafness" would mean casting a spell to make someone deaf. The "spelling of deafness" is correct in the question (loss of hearing).
conductive hearing loss results from a problem with the inner and outer ear
No, chlamydia does not cause hearing loss.
Low-frequency hearing loss is less common compared to other types of hearing loss. It affects a smaller percentage of the population, with high-frequency hearing loss being more prevalent.

Action on Hearing Loss was created in 1911.
Hearing disorders range from a temporary, partial loss of hearing to the permanent loss of hearing known as deafness.
Provided that your child's hearing loss is sensorineural and not conductive - and if it is profound it is certainly at least partially sensorineural - then no, there is no medical treatment or intervention that will correct his/her hearing loss. If your child is having a profound sensorineura hearing loss, please consider a cochlear implant to achieve the closest to normal hearing. My advice as a cochlear implant surgeon would be - dont delay, to avoid neural plasticity.
Peripheral Hearing loss has to do with hearing loss in the peripheral auditory mechanism...that is, in the External Ear, Middle Ear, Cochlea, and VIIIth nerve.
