Hearing loss is always a disturbing problem, but its one that often goes untreated.

Doctors say that hearing is a complex combination of many processes in the ear.

The nerves and the brain and any disruption of these functions can lead to partial or complete deafness.

The causes are accumulation of ear wax, middle-ear infection, poor diet and nutritional deficiencies, food allergies, trauma to the ear, medication, loud noise, and age-related weakening of the ear structures.

Other causes are nerves infections, structural abnormalities (especially cervical spine, and cranial bones), high cholesterol and other disorders that cause hearing loss.
