The inner ear is home to some of the most delicate bones in the body, and damage to the eardrum or middle ear can cause hearing loss and deafness in a range of ways.
The severity of hearing impairment is categorized by how much louder volumes need to be set at before they can detect a sound.
Hearing loss that comes on little by little as your age, also known as presbycusis, is common.
Aging and being around loud noises both can cause hearing loss. Other factors, such as too much earwax, can lower how well ears work for a time.
Hearing loss vs. deafness
It is important to distinguish between the different levels of hearing loss.
Hearing loss: This is a reduced ability to hear sounds in the same way as other people.
Deafness: This occurs when a person cannot understand speech through hearing, even when sound is amplified.
Profound deafness: This refers to a total lack of hearing. An individual with profound deafness is unable to detect sound at all.
Symptoms of hearing loss may include:
- Difficulty hearing clearly
- Misunderstanding what others say.
- Asking people to repeat themselves.
- Asking others to speak more slowly, clearly and loudly.
- Listening to music or watching tv with the volume higher than other people need.
- Difficulty hearing on the phone.
- Finding it hard to keep up with a conversation.
- Muffling of speech and other sounds.
- Trouble understanding words, especially when in a crowd or a noisy place.
- Being bothered by background noise.
- Ringing in the ears, known as tinnitus.
Possible Causes of hearing loss
Some diseases or circumstances that can cause deafness include:
- Chicken pox
- Cytomegalo-virus
- Mumps
- Meningitis
- Sickle cell disease
- Syphilis
- Lyme disease
- Diabetes
- A treatment for tuberculosis (tb) with streptomycin,
- Hypothyroidism
- Arthritis
- Some cancers
- Damaged to the inner ear
- Teenagers exposed to second-hand smoke
- Long-term exposure to loud sounds, gunfire, rock music
- Wax in the ear canal
- Problems with the nerves that receive sound and transmit it to the brain.
- Two of the most common causes are age-related hearing loss (presbycusis) and noise-induced hearing loss
There are three different types of hearing loss:
1) Conductive hearing which involves the outer or middle ear that causes a loss when the vibrations are not passing through from the outer ear to the inner ear.
This type can occur for many reasons, including:
- An excessive build-up of earwax
- Glue ear
- An ear infection with inflammation and fluid build-up
- A perforated eardrum
- Malfunction of the ossicles
- A defective eardrum
- Ear infections can leave scar tissue, which might reduce eardrum function.
2) Sensorineural hearing loss
When the hearing loss is caused by dysfunction of the inner ear, the cochlea, auditory nerve, or brain damage.
This kind of hearing loss is normally due to damaged hair cells in the cochlea. As humans grow older, hair cells lose some of their function, and hearing deteriorates.
3) Mixed hearing loss
This is a combination of both that is conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Long-term ear infections can damage both the eardrum and the ossicles.
