Read more about noise and hearing loss. Hearing loss may also occur as a result of disease, infections or drugs. It may be inherited or be a result of physical damage to the ears or serious injuries to the head.
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.
