Progressive hearing loss happens gradually over time. You may notice sounds becoming quieter or harder to understand as months or years go by. This type of hearing loss is often linked to aging, exposure to loud noise, or other long-term factors.
Sudden hearing loss, on the other hand, occurs quickly, often within a day or even a few hours. You might wake up one morning and find that you can’t hear out of one ear. It can be caused by infections, injury, or other unexpected factors, and it’s important to get medical help right away if it happens.
