Your Hearing Matters – Get the Best Care!
Understanding Hearing Loss
Hearing loss is a condition in which a person is unable to partially or completely hear sound in one or both of their ears. The condition can develop in the inner, middle, or outer ear.
The three common types of hearing loss include conductive, sensorineural, and mixed hearing loss. At SGVP Holistic Hospital, we provide the best hearing loss treatment in Ahmedabad under the expert guidance of the best ENT doctors in Ahmedabad.
Causes and Risk Factors of Hearing Loss
Some common causes of hearing loss may include:
- Inner ear damage
- Ear infection
- Earwax buildup
- Tympanic membrane perforation (ruptured eardrum)
- Unusual bone growths or tumors in the ear
Certain factors can damage or cause loss of the nerve cells and hairs in the inner ear, increasing the risk of hearing loss. These factors include:
- Increase in age
- Loud noise, such as a gunshot
- Heredity
- Constant loud noises at work, such as factory or construction work
- Explosive noises, such as jet engines and firearms
- Use of certain medicines, like gentamicin and Viagra
- Certain illnesses, like meningitis
Signs and Symptoms of Hearing Loss
The symptoms associated with hearing loss may include the following:
- Problems understanding words, especially in crowded and noisy places.
- Problems in hearing the letters of the alphabet that are not vowels.
- Muffling of speech along with other sounds.
- Asking other people to speak more clearly, loudly, and slowly.
- Frequently turning up the volume of the television to hear properly.
- Tinnitus or ringing in the ears.
- Getting bothered due to background noises.
- Staying away from social gatherings.
Diagnosis of Hearing Loss
- At SGVP Holistic Hospital, you will be evaluated by the best ENT doctor in Ahmedabad, who will help diagnose hearing loss early and prepare a tailored treatment plan to manage the condition well.
The common tests that may be performed to help diagnose hearing loss include:
- Physical examination: The doctor will look in the ear to check for possible causes of hearing loss, like an ear infection or earwax.
- Screening test: A whisper test involving listening to words spoken at different volumes while covering one ear at a time may be done.
- Tuning fork test: A tuning fork is a two-pronged, metal instrument that can make sounds when hitting. The doctor can check if there is any hearing loss and where the problem is by using this test.
- Audiometer test: The test involves directing various sounds and words through the earphones to each ear. Each tone will be repeated at low volume levels to check the quietest sound that can be heard.
- Otoacoustic emissions test: The inner ear function is checked with the help of this test.
- Tympanometry: The test helps check how well the eardrum moves and detect a ruptured eardrum, wax in the ear canal, or fluid in the middle ear.
Treatment Options for Hearing Loss
The specialists at SGVP Holistic Hospital’s ENT department offer tailored treatments for hearing loss based on the underlying cause and severity of the condition present. The common treatments offered include:
- Removal of earwax: The doctor will remove earwax using suction or a tiny tool with a loop on one end.
- Surgery: In case of repeated ear infections that lead to fluid accumulation in the ear, the doctor may surgically insert tiny tubes to enable fluid drainage from the ear.
- Hearing aids: In cases of hearing loss due to inner ear damage, placing a hearing aid can be helpful in making the sound stronger and directing it into the ear canal.
- Cochlear implants: A cochlear implant is used when the hearing aid fails to work effectively. It goes around those parts of the inner ear that do not work to spur the nerve responsible for hearing.
Prevention of Hearing Loss
All types of hearing loss cannot be prevented. However, the following tips can help you protect your hearing and prevent hearing loss:
- Use earplugs or earmuffs during loud activities.
- Keep the volume down when listening to music through headphones or earbuds.
- Avoid watching TV or listening to music at a high volume.
- Avoid inserting hairpins or cotton swabs into the eardrum.
