Hearing Loss in Children
Fortunately, permanent loss of the ability to hear in Australian children is uncommon, with only 0.35% of Australian children having a permanent issue. Many more Australian children experience temporary loss though, with ear infections (called otitis media) one of the most common childhood illnesses.
Treatments
The treatment will depend on the cause. An audiologist will need to assess you to determine the type and cause.
Causes and Signs of Hearing Loss
Loss of the ability to hear affects 1 in 6 Australians. It is a common condition but under-recognised and undertreated. People wait an average of 10 years before seeking help. This can make it harder to treat, and more importantly, it can also lead to serious medical complications.
Talking to a Loved One about Hearing Loss
It can be a very difficult topic to discuss when it is affecting someone you love. Many people experiencing this type of loss are in denial of the problem and can become defensive or angry if you try and approach them about it. This might be for a number of reasons. Often, these reasons are very personal.
Preserve Your Ability to Hear
The ears are delicate sensory organs and are highly susceptible to damage. One of the most common and preventable causes is noise exposure. Have you ever had ringing in your ears after listening to music or being in a noisy environment? This is a sign that your ears are being damaged.
Fact Sheet on Hearing Loss
Your ears are incredibly effective but delicate sensory organs. They are susceptible to damage from, among other things, chronic diseases, medications and trauma. Recent studies have shown how closely linked loss in a ability to hear is to many different medical conditions.
