FAQ

It depends on the cause. Conductive hearing loss (e.g., from earwax or infection) is often treatable and reversible. Sensorineural hearing loss is usually permanent but can be effectively managed with hearing aids or, in select cases, cochlear implants.

Hearing should be tested at birth (newborn screening), whenever symptoms arise at any age, and regularly after age 50 as part of routine health checks, since age-related hearing loss often develops gradually.

No. Hearing tests such as Pure Tone Audiometry and Tympanometry are painless, non-invasive, and typically take only a few minutes.

Some causes can be prevented through protecting your ears from loud noise, treating ear infections promptly, and avoiding prolonged use of ototoxic medications without medical supervision. Age-related and genetic hearing loss cannot always be prevented but can be managed effectively if caught early.
