The onset of sudden h ear ing loss can be the cause of significant stress and worry in the affected individual. Sudden hearing can be the result of numerous different causes. In general, there are two types of hearing loss. One is conductive hearing loss, in which there is a problem getting sound from the environment to the inner ear. In conductive hearing loss, there is typically a problem with the external ear canal, eardrum, or middle ear. In the second general category of sudden sensorineural hearing loss (ssnhl) the onset of sudden hearing loss can be the cause of significant stress and worry in the affected individual. While 85 dba of average noise will only cause hearing loss after 8 hours of exposure, this is not the case for louder sound.

Try soaking a cotton ball and dripping a few drops of water, a saline solution or hydrogen peroxide into the ear . Make sure your head is tilted, so your ear points upwards, and allow the fluid to seep into the wax. Then, tilt your head the other way onto a cloth to let the wax drain out.
