The cochlea can be damaged by excessive noise exposure, leading to noise-induced hearing loss. Certain medications, known as ototoxic drugs, can also harm the delicate hair cells within the cochlea. Additionally, infections, physical trauma, and age-related changes can contribute to cochlear damage, affecting overall hearing ability. Protecting hearing through the use of earplugs and avoiding loud environments can help preserve cochlear health.
