Hearing Loss
Causes and Prevention
Heredity also is a cause of hearing loss, but not all inherited
forms of hearing loss take place at birth. Some forms can show up
later in life. In otosclerosis, which is thought to be a hereditary
disease, an abnormal growth of bone prevents structures within the
ear from working properly. A severe blow to the head also can cause
hearing loss.
