Hearing Loss Disability Tax Credit
What is Hearing Loss? Hearing loss is caused by the dysfunction of the inner ear resulting in a loss of hearing. This differs from those who are deaf as a person who is deaf is unable to hear anything at all, whereas a person with a hearing loss can still partially hear others.
Causes & Symptoms of Hearing Loss Hearing loss can be caused by several factors including age, illness, and genetics. Some illnesses put patients at a high risk of hearing loss as it can interfere with the ears’ blood supply. These illnesses include heart disease, high blood pressure, and diabetes.
Treatments For Hearing Loss Treatments for a hearing loss vary depending on the severity of one’s symptoms. One option is to remove earwax blockage by either loosening it with oil or flushing it out in order to remove the blockage. For patients who have had a traumatic ear injury or repeated ear infections, surgical procedures may be necessary to improve their hearing.
