“Can hearing loss in one ear be fixed?”

The possibility of fixing hearing loss in one ear depends on the cause. Sudden hearing loss can sometimes be treated if addressed promptly, especially if it's due to factors like fluid buildup, an ear infection, or a temporary blockage. However, if the hearing loss is due to nerve damage or other underlying conditions, treatment options may be more limited.

At The Beacon Clinic LLC in Baltimore, we specialize in speech and hearing assessments and can refer you to an audiologist for a thorough evaluation. Early diagnosis is crucial to determine the best course of action.

If the sudden hearing loss is caused by something like an earwax impaction, it can certainly be treated. If the sudden hearing loss is related to a nerve-type loss, there may not be much to do medically after about a week. While the hearing may not return, you may be a candidate for a specific type of hearing aid technology known as a CROS. I would recommend visiting an ear, nose, and throat specialist to evaluate the sudden hearing loss as a first step.

Yes it can. I would suggest that you make an appointment with an audiologist.
