A person goes deaf due to a hereditary degenerative hearing loss, or allowing yourself to be in an environment either at work or at home where the loud noises damages your hearing, or when an illness (such as chronic ear infections) or another condition damages the ear drum. When one must work in a loud environment, such as construction, they should always wear proper ear protection. Though aging does not in itself cause deafness, many elderly can experience partial loss of hearing or inability to distinguish tones, which affects quality of life.
