1. Amplifier Use
If you have hearing loss, you’re not alone. Around 466 million people worldwide have disabling hearing loss, of which approximately 34 million are children. (World Health Organization, 2019).
Many factors can cause hearing loss, such as the aging process, heredity, disease, exposure to noise, and buildup of earwax, among other.
Many factors can cause childhood hearing loss, such as premature birth, complications at birth, exposure to loud sounds, infections, or ototoxic (ear-damaging) medications.
There are three main types of hearing loss: conductive, sensorineural and mixed hearing loss. Treatment of hearing loss is dependent on an individual’s type and level of hearing loss.
Conductive hearing loss results from problems in the outer or middle ear caused by infections, buildup of wax or fluid, punctured eardrums or otosclerosis (abnormal bone development). This type of hearing loss is often temporary and can sometimes be corrected or treated with wax removal, medication, or surgery.
