Overview

Hearing loss can develop gradually and often goes unnoticed until it affects conversation, learning or work. A full audiological workup identifies exactly where the problem is and opens the door to targeted treatment, from simple wax removal to modern digital hearing aids.

Symptoms

Asking others to repeat themselves often
Turning up the TV or phone volume
Difficulty hearing in noisy rooms
Ringing or buzzing in the ears (tinnitus)
Delayed speech in children
Balance issues or dizziness

Causes

Ear wax or middle-ear fluid
Age-related nerve changes (presbycusis)
Long-term noise exposure
Genetic factors or birth complications
Certain medications and infections

Diagnosis

  • Otoscopic and microscopic ear examination
  • Pure tone audiometry and speech testing
  • Tympanometry to assess middle-ear function
  • OAE and ABR testing for infants and non-cooperative patients

Treatment

  • Wax removal and treatment of middle-ear infections
  • Digital hearing aids fitted and fine-tuned to your loss
  • Surgical correction for perforated eardrums
  • Referral for cochlear implantation when appropriate

Prevention

  • Protect ears from loud noise with proper plugs or muffs
  • Avoid inserting cotton buds or foreign objects
  • Treat ear infections promptly
  • Screen infants and elderly patients regularly

Recovery

Wax and infection cases resolve within days. Hearing aid users experience a short adaptation period — usually 2–6 weeks — with structured follow-up visits to refine settings.

Ideally within the first month of life, with follow-up screens if there is delayed speech or a family history of hearing loss.

Modern devices are compact, discreet and often invisible when worn — comfort and clarity are prioritised.

Some causes (wax, infection, middle-ear fluid) are fully reversible. Nerve-related loss is managed with hearing aids.
