Asymmetrical hearing loss is just as it sounds: hearing loss that affects one ear more than the other. In this post, we review the signs, causes and treatment of asymmetric hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you have asymmetrical hearing loss<\/a>, you may find yourself relying on your \u201cgood ear,\u201d and you may turn your head to better understand what people are saying when visiting at Rio Coco Cafe<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Asymmetrical hearing loss can be confirmed with a comprehensive hearing test. The results of this test are plotted on an audiogram, which is a graph that visually represents your hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In most cases of hearing loss<\/a>, where hearing ability is similar in each ear, the two lines on the audiogram will more or less overlap. With asymmetrical hearing loss, however, there will be more than a 10-decibel difference across three or more frequencies, as shown on the audiogram.<\/p>\n\n\n\n There are many possible causes of asymmetrical hearing loss, which may include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n The treatment for asymmetrical hearing loss depends on the underlying cause. For example, if it\u2019s caused by earwax, it can be professionally removed, or if it\u2019s caused by infection, you can take antibiotics.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If it\u2019s caused by sensory damage, however, the gold standard of treatment is hearing aids, which work by amplifying sounds to a level your damaged ears can detect. If damage is severe, cochlear implants may be more appropriate, which bypass the damaged parts of the ear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n For more information or to schedule an appointment for a hearing test<\/a>, call Aaron's Hearing Aid & Audiology Center<\/span> today.<\/p>\n\n\n\nCauses of Asymmetrical Hearing Loss<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
