What Causes Hearing Loss?

Hearing loss can occur due to various factors, including age, exposure to loud noises, and certain medical conditions. Understanding these causes is the first step in addressing hearing issues:

  1. Age-Related Hearing Loss: As we age, our hearing ability may decline.
  2. Noisy Environments: Frequent exposure to loud sounds can lead to permanent damage.
  3. Medical Conditions: Conditions like diabetes and high blood pressure can affect hearing.

Solutions include hearing aids, lifestyle changes, and regular consultations with audiologists.
