Some hearing loss is genetic. However, quite often, loud noises from workplaces and concerts can contribute significantly to the loss of hearing. The younger one is when they start wearing adequate protection, the better their chances are of maintaining their ability to hear well for longer. One situation that can impact hearing that you may not know much about is swimming.

Swimmer’s ear, otherwise known as otitis externa, is an infection of the outer ear canal that can occur when water gets trapped in the ear, leading to bacteria growth. If left unaddressed, it can lead to permanent hearing loss. That’s why it’s so important that if you are having symptoms such as ringing in the ear, painful chewing, sudden decreased hearing, or other related symptoms, it’s important to act now and get professional ear doctors to examine the area.
