Common Causes of Hearing Impairments

  • Noise-Induced Hearing Loss: Exposure to loud environments like concerts, music events, or heavy machinery can lead to hearing damage over time.
  • Medical Conditions: Infections, head injuries, and the use of certain medications (ototoxicity) can also contribute to hearing loss.
  • Congenital Conditions: Some students may have inherited conditions or issues with ear development from birth.
