It is one odd feeling, not being able to hear. For those that are able to take in every sound and be able to evaluate what it is and where it is coming from they are extremely fortunate. It might be that they never even think about it because the interpreting the world around is so easy and takes little or now work; however there are many individuals that have issues and something caused it. We will discuss a few things that can cause this problem.
Earwax is meant to protect our outer canal and opening all the way to the eardrum. If it becomes hard and is big enough it can totally prevent the vibrations to pass on to the liquid in the cochlea, where the brain can translate what happened. There are many hairs inside with nerves attached that allow for this miracle to happen.
Removing cerumen is the first step to take and could be the easiest possible solution. Rupturing the eardrum can defiantly make it hard to hear. It is not really that difficult to break it, objects accidentally poking in or any type of sudden impact; such as hitting against the water on the side of the head. The loss of balance can take place after the impact. Tumors should be considered by doctors, as should viruses or bacteria that do harm.
For the most part everyone has been told that loud music and high noise levels over a long period of time mess up the hairs that are in the cochlea. There are treatments best discussed with a physician that specializes with this part of the body. Some of the above can be fixed, while others need a good management plan.
