A number of conditions can cause temporary hearing loss, and each has its own treatment. In most cases, temporary hearing loss is easily treated and has no lasting effects.
Hearing aids come with default settings, but your hearing care provider can also set up custom programs, such as music listening or for driving in a car.
Dr. Stewart has been working as an audiologist since for over 15 years. She spent nine years on staff in a large Ear, Nose and Throat office, acting not only as a staff audiologist but also as the Director of Audiology.
