Question 1

what happens if someone screams really loudly into your ears? will i lose my hearing?

Accepted Answer

Unlikley: They would have to scream really loudly for a really long time.... Run away... Very unlikely that you would develop any hearing loss with yelling.

Question 2

i have tinnitus and some hearing loss.can a dr tell by looking in your  ears with otoscope if is wax or could wax be impacted way in and not visible?

Accepted Answer

Yes: wax is always visible with otoscope

Question 3

i(19) have meniere's disease for about a year. can it be treated. at first only my left ear was ringing, but now both. will i lose my hearing power. ?

Accepted Answer

See an ENT doctor: Meniere's is difficult to "treat" permanently, but can often be "managed."  what type of management depends on how bad your symptoms are and what level of hearing you have.  You should be seen by an otolaryngologist.

Question 4

sometimes one ear will ring and i will lose my hearing for a moment. what does that mean?

Accepted Answer

Time?: If this is only for a few seconds, it is probably not a problem, it it is consistently happening and for longer than a few minuts, especially if it happens in only one ear, you should see an ENT and also have a hearing test. Sometimes the ear just makes noises (tinnitus) but it can be a sign of previous hearing damage or hearing loss.

Question 5

what can i do if my ears keep plugging up with earwax and i lose my hearing?

Accepted Answer

Hearing loss: Do you use qtips, which just pushes the wax further in.  Do you have any chronic dermatologic problems like eczema, which might make you more prone to build up debris in the canal.  Do you do other things (oils, flushes, candling) in the ear canal that might irritate it and cause wax to build up.  There also are just people who have heavier wax production and need to have a regular ear cleaning.

Question 6

would i lose my hearing if i get too many ear infections?

Accepted Answer

You can.: Depending on the type of infections, where you get them, they can cause tympanic membrane perforation, scarring on the TM and alter the bones that are in charge of conducing noise.  See your doctor, if this is a pattern, you might need to see an ENT specialist that can do special tests/ procedures to improve the situation.

Question 7

can sudden sensorineural hearing loss happen mildly over a few days without getting much worse, just the same? right ears hearing goes out for few seconds to a minute but comes back fully. loud noise makes it worse though?

Accepted Answer

: hearing loss needs to be evaluated in person . its commonly associated with excess ear wax, or infections

Question 8

just heard very loud pop in my ear loud enough to make me jump-like someone took plastic bubble wrap &popped it directly in ear.no hearing loss.cause?

Accepted Answer

Ear popping : An audible pop in the ear could be caused by the eustachian tube opening suddenly, causing a pressure differential in the middle ear,  which you hear as a pop. Another common source of popping in the ear can be the jaw popping with opening the mouth,  typically.  If this keeps happening, you may need to see a doctor to evaluate this and probably an ENT would be best.

Question 9

just had sudden temporary hearing loss in right ear. last week i had ringing and buzzing. i can hear now again but less loud then left ear!

Accepted Answer

ENT ASAP: Might be something as simple as ear wax. Or it could be  sudden hearing loss which can be permanent. See ENT doc ASAP for assessment.

Question 10

i have been having hearing loss and my ears are very sensitive to loud sounds even when the television is turned up i get veru irritable. doyouknowwhy?

Accepted Answer

Heavy metals: Heavy metals, like mercury, directly affect the central and peripheral nervous system. Chronic exposures can cause all manner of derangements of visual and auditory systems.
Consider mercury sources: silver dental fillings, seafoods, fluorescent lightbulbs.
