The answer is... It all depends on the type of hearing loss.
🔹 Hearing loss caused by wax buildup, ear infections, or fluid is sometimes temporary and treatable, especially with medical care or minor procedures.
🔹 Hearing loss caused by aging, noise damage, or inner ear nerve damage is usually permanent, but highly manageable with hearing aids or other technology.
While not all hearing loss can be “cured,” there’s so much we can do to improve your hearing and quality of life.
A proper diagnosis is the first step and we’re here to help you take it. Contact us today to book a hearing evaluation. 🙌
