Causes of Hearing Loss
Apart from hearing loss due to aging, genetics, or illnesses, hearing loss is normally the result of one of three situations:
- Continued or repeated exposure to very loud noise. Normally, this type of hearing loss is occupational and injures those that work in mills, factories, or around heavy construction equipment.
- Exposure to a swift and remarkably loud noise. This cause of hearing loss is due to gunshots or firecrackers exploding too close to a person’s ear. Also, this cause of hearing loss is also experienced when a person’s automobile airbag deploys.
- Head injuries causing neurologic damage to the brain and physical injuries to the ear itself. This type of hearing loss is due to a botched surgery, defective cochlear implant, or impact to the head.
What is Tinnitus?
Tinnitus is a type of ear injury. Tinnitus isn’t hearing loss, but an observation of sound that isn’t there. Tinnitus is a result of damage to the cilia of the inner ear. When exposed to sound waves cilia vibrate as they are tiny hairs in the ear that send signals to the brain. But when the cilia are damaged they fail to send the signal to the brain, and the person often hears ringing noises and a high pitched tone. Tinnitus negatively affects a person’s capacity to listen, read, sleep, converse, and concentrate.
