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.

My child has profound hearing loss.he is using hearing aids.Is there any way or method or medicine that helps us to go to normal hearing of my child?

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.


What is peripheral hearing loss?
