WHAT CAUSES HEARING LOSS? AND CAN IT BE TREATED?
Hearing loss can be temporary or permanent. Hearing loss in just one ear may be due to a build up of wax, an infection or a burst eardrum. Gradual hearing loss may be the result of fluid building up, known as glue ear; a bony growth, called otosclerosis; or skin cell accumulation, known as cholesteatoma.

This may involve: Hearing aids Implants - attach to the skull or are placed deep in the ear, if hearing aids are ineffective Communicating via sign language or lip reading Hearing loss can be prevented by avoiding loud music and wearing headphones that block out background noise.
