What exactly causes Hearing Loss?
Coping
with hearing loss can affect your life in many ways. Talks with friends and
family may become more difficult as words seem to fade in regular conversation.
It becomes difficult to enjoy all there is out of life when you're missing what
everyone has to say. People may start to think that you are confused, uncaring,
or being difficult when in fact you just can't hear that well. If left
untreated, problems resulting from hearing loss can get much worse.
Hearing loss may be caused by the aging process, ear wax
buildup, bacterial or viral infections, tumors, heredity, head injuries,
strokes and some medicines. Most
commonly, exposure to loud noises (over 85 decibels) for a long period of time
could be the cause of your hearing loss. So be sure you're protecting your ears
with ear plugs when surrounded by loud noises.
