Noise-induced hearing loss can be avoided if you are careful
1 of 5
Noise-induced hearing loss is caused by regular exposure to loud noises. To avoid noise-induced hearing loss, refrain from listening to the headphones or earphones at high volume.
Wax build-up can lead to hearing loss in the old age
2 of 5
As we age, the ear wax becomes thicker and drier, thereby preventing the sound waves from reaching our ear drums. It is important to get regular ear clean-ups.
You can use cotton ear buds to clean your ear wax regularly
3 of 5
Avoid using ear buds as much as you can. Ear buds actually push the wax deeper into the ear, increasing the chances of getting an ear infection. Ear buds can also cause permanent hearing loss if inserted too deep into the ear.
Ear infections are the leading cause of hearing loss in children
4 of 5
Ear infections can lead to pus or fluid build-up in the middle ear causing hearing loss by preventing the sound waves from reaching the eardrum.
Conductive hearing loss is permanent and can't be cured
5 of 5
