Here are some of the causes of hearing loss…
Ear Infections – Getting an infection in the ear is unpleasant and it is particularly common in younger children. It is usually something that goes away on its own, but doctors may prescribe medicines for it if it is not going away. Often the hearing loss that is caused by an infection is temporary and hearing should return once the infection is cleared.
Some Types of Medicines – There are some medicines that can cause hearing loss in some people too, so this is something to be aware of – usually the effects of this go away with time once you stop taking the medication. Medicines that have been known to cause hearing loss include nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Ibuprofen, as well as some chemotherapy medications and antibiotics. You should always make your doctor aware if you are concerned that drugs you are taking have caused hearing loss.
Labyrinthitis – This is when the inner ear becomes inflamed and the tubes in the inner ear that are filled with fluid are then affected by this. As well as causing hearing loss, this part of the ear is responsible for sensing the position and the motion of the head and therefore it can also lead to feeling dizzy and sick as the sense of motion is affected.
