Causes and treatments for temporary hearing loss

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.

Can exercise cause hearing loss or tinnitus?

Exercise is beneficial to the body and mind, but find out why heavy exertion paired with loud music can lead to hearing loss or tinnitus. 

What are hearing aid settings? And how do I customize mine?

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.

I can hear, just not clearly. Do I have hearing loss?

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.
