I have had ringing in my right ear and it feels plugged all the time with slight hearing loss. What is wrong?

September 28th, 2009
Andrew K asked:


I went to my ENT a few weeks ago, and he gave me a hearing test and I was above average for both ears. He said it didnt look like anything was wrong with my inner ear. He cleaned out the wax in my ears, but its still the same.

Could a dog’s asphyxiation cause permanent hearing loss?

September 18th, 2009
Maureen S asked:


Our dog’s head was stuck completely inside a potato chip bag causing him to pass out. He laid lifeless for several minutes after the bag was removed. Don’t know how long he laid with the bag on his head. Fortunately, he is fine except for some hearing loss. Could his hearing loss be permanent?

Is a hearing loss considered a disability? ?

September 1st, 2009
thebuffettour asked:


I have about a 25-35% hearing loss. I was wondering if this could be considered a disability or if one has to be completely deaf. I am thinking about it in regards to employment (helping meet that quota) or in owning a business.

Before any of you compare diminished sight to hearing loss, they are not the same. People do not bring items closer to you when you wear glasses like they yell when they see you wearing hearing aids.

What are ways to protect me/you from hearing loss?

August 29th, 2009
benben3501 asked:


What are ways to protect me/you from hearing loss? I am a DJ and I usually DJ 2-3 times a month and I want to keep my hearing as long as possible. I am also 12 and I cant afford to lose a lot of my hearing while im 21 because I will loose many experinces in my life. I also go to about 5 concerts a year and the music gets REALLY LOUD. I know I could but earplugs but most of them block out most of the frequincies. Any suggestions?

Difference between hearing loss and being partially deaf?

August 27th, 2009
NozDontKnowMyNamz asked:


I know this might seem completely obvious, but I still want to know ;) What sets these two terms apart, I wouldn’t think they’re synonymous.

I have mild hearing loss at two specific frequency points. A loss doesn’t mean a complete absence at those points; I’m thinking that there must be a complete absence of sound in order to be classified as the latter… but how much and over how many frequency points?
Hi, thanks for your answer. But I wouldn’t necessarily agree with this comment, “but you have to have exceptional hearing to create or sing music professionally”

Brian Wilson is deaf in one ear, and many other working musicians today obviously have some hearing loss and tinnitus. In fact, it’s probably more common than we think.

I’m still not clear on it though. Some hearing loss is different from being partially deaf no?

Is there a cure for a type of hearing loss called tinnitus?

August 27th, 2009
Afloat asked:


Two years ago, my friend suffered a mini stroke and lost his right ear of hearing. Otherwise, everything else seems to be fine. I wonder if an MRI procedure could pinpoint the area within the ear that is causing the hissing/tunnel sound.
I wonder if his ear can be brought back to normalcy.

August 25th, 2009
siropson asked:


Hi does anyone know if there are requirements for getting a hearing aid? like how much loss, what if its just one ear, are there other things they can do besides a hearing aid? I have significant hearing loss in my left ear from childhood ear infections and it seems to be getting worse lately. A friend really thinks i should see an audiologist and think about a hearing aid….
