Frequently Asked Questions
Distinguishing between permanent and temporary hearing loss typically involves a thorough hearing evaluation by a qualified healthcare professional. Temporary hearing loss can be caused by factors like earwax buildup, fluid in the middle ear, or exposure to loud noises, and it might be reversible with appropriate treatment. Permanent hearing loss, such as that caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, is usually irreversible. An audiologist can provide a diagnosis and recommend appropriate treatment or management strategies based on the type of hearing loss.
