Depends on the type of hearing loss and if the inner hair cells are damaged. Go to an Audiologist to be evaluated.
That would depend on the cause of the hearing loss. Sometimes excessive impacted wax can simulate hearing loss.
The best thing would be to see an ENT Physician and let him/her examine her ears

That depends on the reason for the hearing loss. It will need to be investigated by audiology, ENT and possibly neurology depending on the possible causes. Sometimes it can be fixed but that depends on why she has hearing loss in the first place. Hope that helps!
Yes. Depending on the cause of the hearing loss.

Need much more information. Was she born with hearing loss? What age is she? Ear infections? Tubes? Have you Seen An ENT?
