A ringing sensation in the ears (tinnitus), or people complaining that you talk too loudly are signs you may need to have your hearing checked.

Deafness is caused by many different events including injury, disease and genetic defects.

Auditory neuropathy is hearing loss caused by a disruption of nerve impulses travelling from the inner ear to the brain.

The brain uses the inner ear, the eyes and muscles to pinpoint the position of the body at all times.

Once hearing is damaged, it often can't be restored.

In its earlier stages, an acoustic neuroma can present similar symptoms to other, less serious conditions, which may delay diagnosis and treatment.

Otosclerosis eventually affects both ears, but the condition doesn?t cause total deafness.

Tinnitus cannot be cured, but it can be managed with some lifestyle changes.
