Hearing Loss Treatment
If you’re starting to lose your hearing, it can feel overwhelming and frustrating when you aren’t sure what’s causing it or how you can handle this new change. Hearing loss is a common condition, and you don’t have to feel alone. There are many ways that your ear, nose, and throat doctor in Chicago, IL can help you manage your hearing loss and give you the best treatment plan for your condition and your life.
What Causes Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss can occur in different parts of the ear and for different reasons. Most commonly, aging and exposure to loud noises can cause damage to the inner ear. This causes wear and tear to occur on the hairs in the cochlea, which send sound signals to the brain. When these hairs are damaged, it’s harder for your brain to get these signals as efficiently.
Hearing loss could also be caused by earwax buildup, an ear infection, or a ruptured eardrum. It’s important to talk with your ear, nose, and throat doctor about these issues and how you can prevent them from occurring.
How is Hearing Loss Treated?
Treatment varies depending on the cause of your hearing loss. If you’re dealing with an earwax buildup, it’s important to see your doctor for removal. Our Chicago, IL ENT doctor can also help you see the world of hearing aids to help amplify sounds and hear more clearly again. There are different types of hearing aids that you can choose from and you can find one that works best for you and help you feel comfortable when you wear it on a regular basis.
