Hearing loss is a condition where a person has difficulty hearing sounds clearly. It may affect one ear or both ears and can develop gradually or suddenly. Hearing loss can impact communication, social interaction, work performance, and overall quality of life. Early identification and proper treatment can significantly improve hearing and lifestyle.
