Loss of Hearing
Loss of hearing, or deafness, is a medical condition that occurs when a person experiences partial or full loss of his/her ability to hear. Deafness may be congenital, may develop due to genetic predispositions, or may develop suddenly. If the loss of hearing is congenital, it means that the person is born without the ability to hear. Genetic loss of hearing is more common, and results from old age or certain inherent medical conditions. Sudden loss of hearing usually results from exposure to extremely loud sounds or from puncturing the ear drum.
When people notice that they are suffering from hearing problems, it is always advisable that they seek immediate treatment from a physician or an audiologist who can correctly identify and diagnose the source and cause of the loss of hearing.
Loss of Hearing Signs
People who are losing their hearing will usually notice the following signs:
- temporary loss of hearing in one ear
- temporary loss of hearing in both ears
- persistent ringing in one or both ears
- muffled sounds
- difficulty hearing or comprehending words
- needing to turn volume up on electronics
- needing to ask people to loudly repeat what they are saying
While many of these signs are general, it is always important that people experiencing these signs seek treatment from an audiologist who can correctly diagnose these symptoms, which may correlate with temporary or permanent deafness.
Loss of Hearing & Personal Injury Law
According to Florida personal injury law, any person who has lost his/her hearing as a result of another person’s negligence may be able to file a personal injury lawsuit to collect monetary compensation for their catastrophic injury. Before a person decides to file a personal injury lawsuit involving loss of hearing, it is a wise idea for him/her to consult with a skilled personal injury lawyer who is experienced in catastrophic injury cases.
