Hearing Loss

Hearing loss is the partial or complete inability to hear sounds, which can affect one or both ears. It often occurs gradually with age but can also result from noise exposure, infections, genetics, or injury.

Hearing loss can range from mild, where sounds seem faint, to severe, where even loud sounds are difficult to hear. Treatments like hearing aids, cochlear implants, and communication strategies can help people with hearing loss improve their quality of life and stay socially connected.
