Impairments in hearing can happen in either frequency or intensity, or both. Hearing loss severity is based on how well a person can hear the frequencies or intensities most often associated with speech. Severity can be described as mild, moderate, severe, or profound. The term “deaf” is sometimes used to describe someone who has an approximately 90 dB or greater hearing loss or who cannot use hearing to process speech and language information, even with the use of hearing aids.
Causes of Hearing Loss
How you hear
Hearing occurs when sound waves reach the structures inside your ear, where the sound wave vibrations are converted into nerve signals that your brain recognizes as sound.
Middle ear fluid
Serious infections, such as meningitis
Head injury
Listening to very loud music, especially through headphones
Repeated exposure to loud sounds, such as machinery
Common causes of deafness in children include inherited conditions, infection during pregnancy, meningitis, head injury and glue ear.
Common temporary causes include earwax, infection, glue ear and foreign body obstruction.
Hearing Loss Symptoms
If hearing loss is sudden, it may be from trauma or a problem with blood circulation. A gradual onset is suggestive of other causes such as aging or a tumor.
Some people may have a hearing problem without realizing it. Others might think they have a problem, but are too embarrassed to tell their doctor, friends, or family. You can help identify a possible hearing problem by asking yourself some key questions and, if necessary, having your hearing checked by a doctor.
The first sign of a noise-induced hearing loss is not hearing high-pitched sounds, like the singing of birds, or not understanding speech when in a crowd or an area with a lot of background noise. If the damage goes on, hearing declines further, and lower pitched sounds become hard to understand.
Treatment of Hearing Loss
When a hearing aid does not give enough amplification, as with profound deafness, a cochlear implant – sometimes known as a bionic ear – may help.
This device transmits sound directly into the auditory nerve via electrodes which are surgically implanted into the cochlea. The results of a cochlear implant vary between people, and it is hard to tell how useful it will be before it is implanted.
Home Care
Wax build-up can frequently be flushed out of the ear (gently) with ear syringes (available in drug stores) and warm water. Wax softeners (like Cerumenex) may be needed if the wax is hard and impacted.
Care should be taken when removing foreign bodies. Unless it is easy to get to, have your health care provider remove the object. Don’t use sharp instruments to remove foreign bodies.
Hearing Loss Prevention
Protect your ears in the workplace. Specially designed earmuffs that resemble earphones can protect your ears by bringing most loud sounds down to an acceptable level. Foam, pre-formed, or custom-molded earplugs made of plastic or rubber also can effectively protect your ears from damaging noise.

It’s difficult to quit smoking. Even those who were successful in their efforts will likely say it was incredibly difficult. There are a many methods to try and quit smoking. If you aren’t successful with one, try another. It’s imperative for your health (and the health of those around you)that you quit smoking as soon as possible. Always check with your doctor before starting any non-smoking program. Cold turkey is the number one way that people try to quit smoking. However, this is usually not successful. Basically cold turkey means that you stop smoking cigarettes one day and never have another one. While some people believe that they have the will power to do it, it really has little to do with willpower and more to do with that fact that your body is physically addicted to nicotine and you can have fairly serious withdrawal symptoms. Cold turkey does work for some people, but in general within a few days most people start smoking again. Another option is to use nicotine gum or…

Med Sci (Paris). 2010 May; 26(5): 487-96 Purper-Ouakil D, Lepagnol-Bestel AM, Grosbellet E, Gorwood P, Simonneau M Attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is a frequent and disabling condition in school children, with cognitive and behavioral symptoms persisting into adulthood in a majority of patients. Etiology of ADHD is considered multifactorial and heterogenous, with an important contribution of genetic factors. Apart from genetic risk factors, emphasis has been put on the early environment, and prenatal exposure to nicotine, alcohol, prematurity and low birth weight have been associated with subsequent ADHD symptoms. This article reviews recent findings in neurobiology, genetics and neuroimaging of ADHD. Despite their clinical heterogeneity and frequent comorbidities, key symptoms of ADHD, such as impulsivity, hyperactivity and inattention are regularly improved by dopaminergic agonists, leading to consider dopaminergic dysfunction a possibly contributing factor in ADHD….

There are a few possible issues with Hep C treatment and the eyes.
First of all, HCV treatment can and in many instances does, result in dry, blurry eyes.
There are other more serious eye issues in relation to HCV treatment, which are most often reversible. The doc is being thorough and most likely getting 'baseline' data on your husbands vision pre – treatment to be better able to assess any potential changes in vision during the course of treatment.
I would suggest that you speak to the doc about this at the next appointment.
Take care

Brain scans show that diagnosis of disease from X-rays involves the same mechanisms as recognizing everday objects In medical practice, doctors often reach a diagnosis of a disease within minutes of coming into contact with a patient, and sometimes before the patient has even reported their symptoms. When, for example, a doctor encounters a patient with jaundice (yellowish staining of the skin and the whites of the eyes), a diagnosis related to liver disease or dysfunction comes to mind immediately and automatically. Diagnosing disease is a specialized type of problem-solving, which is believed to require little or no analytical reasoning. Instead, it is likely based on the rapid retrieval of similar cases from memory and, as such, has been likened to pattern recognition. A new study now provides evidence that medical diagnoses involve the same brain systems that are required for recognizing and naming everyday objects.

“>In yet another sickening display of gutless obedience to the Israel lobby and the Jewish dominated media, the “U.S.” House of Representatives has passed legislation which promotes Israel’s interests over the interests of America and Americans by passing the United States-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012. This treasonous bill was sponsored by Zionist and Israel-firster Eric Cantor and Goy Boy Steny Hoyer. Only two Congressmen voted against it, Ron Paul and John Dingell! Ron Paul, who draws thousands of people to his presidential campaign rallies but who is virtually blocked-out by the kosher (I use kosher very objectively and honestly which requires strong negative connotations because it is based on nonsense, it causes inhumane treatment of animals and it puts BILLIONS of dollars in the pockets of rabbis and is just another religious scam) media, openly defied the powerful Israel lobby regarding this unconstitutional bill. What a well-written article. Never explains…”

“Methinks we have hugely mistaken this matter of Life and Death. Methinks that what they call my shadow here on earth is my true substance. Methinks that in looking at things spiritual, we are too much like oysters observing the sun through the water, and thinking that thick water the thinnest of air. Methinks my body is but the lees of my better being. In fact take my body who will, take it I say, it is not me.”
