Defining Deafness
Loss of hearing, or deafness, is a medical condition that occurs when a person experiences partial or full loss of his/her ability to hear. Deafness may be congenital, may develop due to genetic predispositions, or may develop suddenly. If the loss of hearing is congenital, it means that the person is born without the ability to hear. Genetic loss of hearing is more common, and results from old age or certain inherent medical conditions. Sudden loss of hearing usually results from exposure to extremely loud sounds or from puncturing the ear drum.
When people notice that they are suffering from hearing problems, it is always advisable that they seek immediate treatment from a physician or an audiologist who can correctly identify and diagnose the source and cause of the loss of hearing. If your loved one lost their hearing in an accident caused by another person’s misconduct, contact a lawyer at our firm in Tampa.
