ABOUT THE SPECIAL NEED:

Hearing loss is when sound is either diminished or absent in one or both ears.

There are three causes of hearing loss: a blockage of sound through the ear canal, damage to the nerves that allow you to hear, or a combination of the two.

A few causes of hearing loss are allergies, earwax, foreign bodies, infections, loud noises, and congenital disabilities.

Many of the causes of hearing loss can be treated.
