Hearing loss is a reduction in the ability to hear sounds in one or both ears, ranging from mild difficulty with soft speech to profound loss where even loud sounds are inaudible. It affects over 1.5 billion people worldwide and has many causes — earwax blockage, ear infections, damage to the inner ear's hair cells, ageing, noise exposure, or structural problems in the middle ear. Some forms are temporary and fully reversible with medical treatment; others are permanent but can be managed effectively with hearing devices, surgery, or rehabilitation. The right treatment depends on the type of hearing loss (conductive, sensorineural, or mixed), its severity, the underlying cause, and the patient's age and lifestyle. An ENT specialist and audiologist work together to reach a diagnosis and recommend the most appropriate pathway.
Medication and clinical procedures to treat reversible causes — such as earwax removal, antibiotic treatment for infections, or steroid therapy for sudden hearing loss — that can restore or significantly improve hearing without surgery.
