Question 1

what is the definition or description of: hearing problem during pregnancy?

Accepted Answer

Hearing loss: Anytime you have a hearing loss you are not hearing words and sounds as well as you could be. You may be asking folks to repeat themselves often or you may find that you have to concentrate more or look at people more than you used to when they are talking to you. Try a dial tone on the phone, does it sound the same in both ears?  See an ear nose and throat doc and they can check it.

Question 2

since i've been getting migraines again (they went away during short pregnancy) they have been worse than ever with temp. hearing loss. why & how?

Accepted Answer

Headache: Fever and hearing loss warrant further investigation. You should see your doctor.

Question 3

what can somone do about a hearing problem?

Accepted Answer

See specialist: See the ENT MD and take it from there. Many folks do extremely well with the newer hearing aids. Go and see for yourself. Why not let life be better with improved hearing ? Good Luck.

Question 4

how can i know if my baby has a hearing problem?

Accepted Answer

Failure to respond: If your baby is not startling to loud noises, that is a potential sign. Your baby should be turning to localize sounds coming from one direction or the other. Lastly, as your baby gets older, he or she should be babbling and cooing- failure to generate sounds at the appropriate age may be a reason to screen his or her hearing. If you have any doubts, discuss them with your pediatrician.

Question 5

what do you advise if i'm having sclerosis mastoids.. and i'm having little hearing problem. is there any solution for this problem?

Accepted Answer

Hearing loss: The best place to start is with an audio gram and a physical examination by a board certified otolaryngologist.

Question 6

let me know medicine for hearing problem due to nervous weakness ,i am 42 years old and having problem since 2002.using hearing aid ?

Accepted Answer

NONE: You are already using hearing aid , keep ears clean , eat healthy diet .

Question 7

why do a lot of people who have hearing problem deny it?

Accepted Answer

Gradual issue: Most people with hearing loss develop the hearing loss very gradually. When something happens gradually they don't tend to notice it and the body compensates for it in many ways. For example, they may start lip reading and not even be aware of it.  Then the tendency is to blame other people for "mumbling". I find the only people who use the word "mumble" are people with hearing loss.

Question 8

i have decreased my hearing function since i have flu, but after the flu ended  the hearing problem still exist, how can i fix it?

Accepted Answer

Fluid in the ear: You might still have fluid in your middle ear after you had an upper air way infection or flu like symptoms. You need to see an ENT to be evaluated especially when you are still symptomatic. It would takes several months for the fluid to go away by itself and you also have an increase risk of middle ear infection if fluids are there.

Question 9

7yr old says he doesn't hear me or dad until we are yelling, i could there be a hearing problem or is he so engrossed that he just tunes out?

Accepted Answer

Yes and yes: He may be hard of hearing or he may be tuning you guys out. It matters whether he is able to hear other sounds without difficulty. Children around this age can also be so engrossed by the task at hand that other stimuli are ignored. 

Schools also have a yearly hearing screen that looks for substantial hearing loss. If you are very worried, an otolaryngology or audiology consultation is indicated.

Question 10

my sister has a hearing problem. they told her that the nerves are a little damaged. i feel that the things that help her to hear better are harming her more. what should i do?

Accepted Answer

Get a 2nd opinion: Not sure what you're referring to. More importantly, what's your question? How was it determined that a nerve was a little damaged? And what things are helping her that you're worried about? If you can give us some more details, we may be able to give you a better answer. In meantime, consider getting a 2nd opinion if you're not convinced that she's getting best therapy.
