Causes of Hearing Loss

What Causes Hearing Loss? Understanding the Risk Factors

Hearing loss can result from various environmental, genetic, and medical conditions. The key causes include:

1. Age-Related Hearing Loss (Presbycusis)

  • A natural decline in hearing ability, usually after the age of 50.
  • Difficulty hearing high-frequency sounds like birds chirping.

2. Noise-Induced Hearing Loss

  • Exposure to loud noises (machinery, concerts, headphones at high volumes).
  • Damage to the tiny hair cells in the inner ear.

3. Medical Conditions & Infections

  • Ear infections & fluid buildup (common in children).
  • Ototoxic medications (some antibiotics & chemotherapy drugs).
  • Head injuries & neurological disorders.

4. Genetic & Congenital Factors

  • Inherited conditions leading to early hearing impairment.
  • Birth complications affecting auditory development.
