Health Query

Is there a medicine to improve hearing? or what are the ways to improve hearing longevity?

1 Doctor Answered
Hearing loss may be conductive (due to ear drum perforation/ ear ossicle damage) or neural deafness. It can be diagnosed by audiometry ( hearing test). If it comes out as conductive deafness, can be corrected by surgery or if it comes out neural then hearing aid is only treatment.
