Can Hearing Loss be cured?

Hearing loss is a reduced ability to hear sounds clearly. It can range from mild to complete hearing loss and may affect one or both ears. Common causes include ageing, loud noise (above 85 decibels), or problems with the ear’s structure.

Hearing loss can often be effectively treated with hearing aids, implants, or medical and surgical interventions depending on the cause and severity.

Symptoms of Hearing Loss
  • Sounds or speech that seem muffled or unclear
  • Difficulty understanding what others are saying
  • Needing people to repeat themselves often
  • Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Feeling dizzy or unsteady (vertigo)
  • Ear pain, discharge, or a blocked feeling

If these symptoms occur more frequently or are worsening, consult an ENT doctor immediately for a detailed hearing evaluation.
