Hearing loss is something that many people suffer from, sometimes permanently and sometimes it is temporary. It happens when the sounds are not able to get to the brain, and there are many causes of it.
Sometimes it can be caused by damage to the ear itself, or damage in the brain or nerves. Here are some common causes of hearing loss…
Damage to the Inner Ear – The inner ear can become damaged by things like an injury or an illness or infection. If the small hairs inside the ear become damaged, this can then cause hearing loss. Sometimes this can be temporary, but it depends on the damage. Hearing aids can help people who suffer from this type of hearing loss.
Ear Wax Build Up – Although ear wax is designed to help protect the ears and keep them clean, if there is a build-up, or the wax becomes compacted then it can cause unpleasant symptoms including pain in the ear and hearing loss.

Listening to Loud Noises -If you go to loud concerts or work in a noisy environment, then hearing protection is essential. Exposure to loud noises can cause tinnitus, a ringing in the ear, which can be temporary but is sometimes permanent.
