What are some diseases that cause hearing loss?

Too many to name: There are three different types of hearing loss- sensorineural, conductive and mixed. The causes of these losses may be congenital, inherited, or acquired. The best way to determine the cause of hearing loss would be to see your local ear, nose and throat doctor and have a hearing test.

Too numerous: Diseases of the external ear, wax impaction and severe skin infection. Diseases of the middle ear such as infection, stiffness of one of the bones in the middle ear and perforation of the ear drum. Diseases of the inner ear such as age, noise, head trauma, auto-immune disease are a few.
