Deafness treatment in León

When a person notices that they hear less and less, turn up the volume more than usual, or struggle to follow a conversation, it is wise to have their hearing checked in time. Deafness is the total or partial decrease in the ability to perceive sounds, which can affect one or both ears and appear gradually or suddenly.

Common causes: it can result from aging, prolonged exposure to loud noise, infections, earwax buildup, hereditary factors, or the use of certain medications.

Signs that point to it: difficulty understanding speech, a feeling of a blocked ear, ringing, or the need to ask people to repeat what they said.

Who evaluates it? The audiologist assesses the degree and type of hearing loss, while the speech therapist supports the rehabilitation of communication. If you notice changes in your hearing, a professional evaluation helps you understand the cause and the options available.
