Understanding Hearing Loss Causes
Hearing loss can arise from a variety of factors, with genetics playing a significant role. Conditions like noise exposure are the most preventable cause, with loud environments such as concerts or power tools contributing to this risk. Certain medications can also have ototoxic effects, damaging hearing systems, while chronic conditions like high blood pressure and diabetes increase susceptibility to hearing loss. It's crucial to recognize these factors to implement preventive measures early.
