Research Notes on Ear Infection and Hearing Loss
Ear infections can cause problems with hearing. Normally it is a temporary, conductive hearing loss due to sound vibrations not being able to travel from the ear drum to the inner ear. In these cases, hearing usually returns to normal after the infection clears and any lingering fluid subsides.1
Fast Facts:
- Doctors may recommend tubes for recurrent infections or fluid that doesn't clear.2
- Hearing problems can lead to speech and language problems.1
- Repeated ear infections can eventually cause permanent damage of the eardrum, the bones of the ear or the hearing nerve.1
