IS MY HEARING LOSS THE SAME IN BOTH EARS?

Most people with hearing loss have about the same level of hearing in both ears. If a hearing test indicates otherwise, your hearing specialist may refer you to an ear, nose, and throat doctor for additional testing to investigate any underlying conditions. Slight asymmetrical hearing loss is normal, but if it varies by more than 10 decibels, there’s usually a reason, and the same is true for asymmetrical tinnitus. Possible reasons for the difference range from shooter’s ear to recent or chronic ear infections, cysts or tumors, other blockages, or an ear disorder. Hearing aids can be programmed separately and can improve some types of asymmetrical hearing loss. More severe cases may benefit from bone-anchored hearing devices or cochlear implants.

If you are concerned about your hearing, help yourself toward maximum hearing capability by seeking an audiologist’s care. It may be one of the most important undertakings of your life. At LINDSAY EAR CLINIC, we will stake our reputation on your complete satisfaction with our approach to addressing your hearing difficulties. Our state-of-the-art hearing tests are conducted and the results evaluated by a highly skilled audiologist with advanced training in the art of helping the hearing impaired. If this sounds like it might be a solution for you, why not give us a call?

P.S. Sudden hearing loss on one side is considered an emergency and can indicate an infection or another problem with the auditory nerve.

AMINOGLYSOIDE ANTIBIOTICS AND HEARING LOSS

Unlike many narrow-spectrum antibiotics, aminoglycoside antibiotics work on a broad range of bacteria. They are used to treat microbes that may be resistant to other antibiotics and for treating infections where the microbe is unknown. However, aminoglycoside antibiotics have been linked to permanent hearing loss because they can damage the tiny sensory cells of the inner ear. Aminoglycosides can cross the blood-labyrinth barrier to the inner ear where they enter the sensory cells. Research has found that the inflammation from the infection itself combined with ion channels in the sensory hair cells made those channels more permeable to the antibiotic. This causes more of the drug to be taken up by the cells, amplifying its toxic effect on the cells.

Some estimates say that more than 200 medications have been identified as harmful to hearing. At LINDSAY EAR CLINIC, your well-being and peace of mind are always our number one priority. Our comprehensive services therefore include more than hearing testing, proper hearing aid recommendation and fitting, fresh high-quality batteries, and follow-up support and counseling. We are trained to identify, treat, and prevent hearing loss and therefore enhance enjoyment of life. Questions about your hearing healthcare? Time for a hearing evaluation.

P.S. Newer tests that better identify specific bacteria microbes more rapidly can help avoid the use of aminoglycoside antibiotics when they’re not necessary or the risk to hearing is too high.

“I CAN HEAR… I JUST CAN’T UNDERSTAND”

This is one of the most common things we hear.

You might hear sounds clearly, but words feel muffled or unclear, especially in busy environments.

That’s often an early sign of hearing changes.

The good news is, there are solutions that can make conversations clear and enjoyable again.

YOUR BRAIN WORKS HARDER WHEN YOU CAN’T HEAR WELL

When hearing declines, your brain has to work overtime to fill in the gaps.

That’s why untreated hearing loss can leave you feeling:
• Mentally drained
• Less focused
• Disconnected from conversations

Hearing well is not just about your ears, it’s about keeping your mind sharp and engaged.

OTITIS EXTERNA (SWIMMERS EAR) CAUSES AND SYMPTOMS

Otitis externa is inflammation or infection of the outer ear canal, also referred to as an outer ear infection. While it is sometimes called swimmer’s ear because it’s often caused by water trapped in the ear canal (which then provides a breeding ground for bacteria that leads to infection), water exposure is not necessary for otitis externa to develop. Although common with swimming and water sports, other potential causes are humid environments, harsh cleaning or trauma to the ear canal, excess earwax, dry skin, eczema, and other forms of dermatitis. Mild symptoms include redness, itching, and swelling. More severe symptoms can involve pain, fever, swollen glands, drainage, and swelling that leads to muffled hearing or hearing loss.

Although they won’t help in every instance, ear plugs are a great way to waterproof your ears while swimming and during other water activities. At LINDSAY EAR CLINIC, our team of highly skilled audiologists specializes in creating personalized treatment plans for a range of hearing issues, including otitis externa, hearing loss, vertigo, tinnitus, and advanced earwax concerns. Can we help you achieve better hearing? Call us to arrange a convenient appointment.

P.S. While otitis media (middle ear infection) does not usually cause otitis media (outer ear infection), the two may occur simultaneously.
