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.
Do you feel like you can hear but not understand words? This may mean you have high-frequency hearing loss--or even something unrelated, like an auditory processing problem.
Dr. Diane Williams is a licensed audiologist with experience in the hearing industry since 1975. She earned her Doctorate in audiology from A.T. Still University after earning a Master’s degree in audiology from the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center. Dr. Williams gained experience working in a variety of clinical settings before opening her private practice clinic in 1998.
