Description

This fact sheet discusses medical conditions that can affect your hearing health, including otitis media, tinnitus, swimmer’s ear, earwax, autoimmune inner ear disease, and more. Treatment of these and other hearing losses can often lead to improved or restored hearing. If left undiagnosed and untreated, some conditions can lead to irreversible hearing impairment or deafness.
