I was studying and found this simple yet straight-forward facts of sound in Audiology. The word SOUND can be used to easily remember the things that could cause hearing problems.
S = Sensory overload
O = Old age
~ age-related hearing loss usually does not lead to deafness but to auditory isolation.
U = Undiagnosed tumors or under-treated infections
N = Non-functioning ear canal or bones
~ anything that blocks the ear canal reduces sound flow
D = Damage from drugs, trauma or pressure
~ certain drugs have a toxic effect on hearing.
~ trauma and pressure trauma can damage the ear and also cause hearing loss.
As easy as ABC. Hear well, always! :)
