What kind of damage is the cause for most hearing loss?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Loud noises : Rock concerts, sporting events, working around jet engines, use of headphones at high volume. Looks like this is likely the most frequent cause of early high frequency sensory-neural hearing loss. Age, smoking, alcohol all add to the burden.
