In many circumstances, taking steps ahead of time can help prevent hearing loss:
Wearing earplugs in loud places can help reduce exposure to loud sounds.
Regular hearing tests, especially for people who are at high risk
Getting shots to protect against rubella, meningitis, and measles
Careful usage of drugs that can hurt your ears
Hearing screening programs for newborns and school-age children
Hearing loss, also called hearing impairment, is when you do not hear well in one ear (unilateral) or both ears (bilateral). It is not only a lack of sensory input; it is a complex problem that affects communication, cognitive development, emotional health, and social integration. Depending on the cause, location, and severity, hearing loss can be temporary or permanent, mild or severe.
