Definition of bilateral hearing loss. A bilateral hearing loss is a hearing loss in both ears. The bilateral hearing loss may be caused by factors in the outer, middle or inner ear or a combination of these areas. The symptoms of a bilateral hearing loss are reduced hearing in both ears. A bilateral hearing loss can be either symmetrical or asymmetrical.
Causes of hearing loss include: 1  Damage to the inner ear. Aging and exposure to loud noise may cause wear and tear on the hairs or nerve cells in the cochlea that send sound signals to the brain. 2  A gradual buildup of earwax. Earwax can block the ear canal and prevent conduction of sound waves. 3  Ear infection and abnormal bone growths or tumors.
