1. What Causes You to Lose Hearing?
Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a major problem for millions of sufferers
worldwide. It is a growing problem but advances in
treatments and early detection are helping to bring
relief to its sufferers. It is a difficult situation but it can
be helpful to better understand what causes you to lose
hearing.
The first thing to understand is that there are a number of reasons why
people may lose all or part of their hearing. Our ears and the manner in
which they transmit the signals they interpret from these sounds to the brain
is a very complex and sensitive process. It can be affected by many factors.
Disease is one way in which hearing can be affected. Some diseases cause
damage to the ear or the nerve pathways from the ear to the brain. This all
affects hearing. Another factor comes from genetics.
There are unfortunately those people who for one reason or another suffer
from hearing loss due to some type of breakdown in the manner in which
their ears function. This is attributable to genetics. In other words, there are
symptoms which tend to be transferred from one or both parents.
Since the ears are so sensitive, they tend to lose some of this sensitivity as
people age. The ability to discern sounds naturally degrades over time.
Therefore older people tend to have a more difficult time hearing things than
younger people.
Hearing loss can also come about when the ear becomes damaged from an
accident or excessive noise. The ear is very sensitive and was never
designed to withstand some of the loud noises we are regularly exposed to
in modern society. For example, it has been shown that listening to loud
music over a long period of time can definitely degrade hearing and
sometimes cause a condition where people feel like they have ringing in
their ears.
