Hearing problems, encompassing a range of auditory impairments from mild hearing loss to profound deafness, are prevalent worldwide, affecting millions of individuals across different age groups. This Internal Assessment (IA) aims to explore the various aspects of hearing problems, including their causes, impacts on individuals and society, and the interventions available to manage and mitigate these issues. Through this assessment, we will develop a comprehensive understanding of the biological, psychological, and social dimensions of hearing problems.
Methodology
To address these research questions, a mixed-methods approach will be employed. This includes a review of existing literature, interviews with audiologists and individuals experiencing hearing problems, and an analysis of statistical data on hearing loss prevalence and treatment outcomes. The methodology will be divided into the following steps:
- Literature Review : An extensive review of academic journals, articles, and books on hearing problems will be conducted to gather secondary data on causes, impacts, and interventions.
- Interviews : Semi-structured interviews with healthcare professionals (audiologists, ENT specialists) and patients will provide qualitative insights into the personal and clinical aspects of hearing problems.
- Data Analysis : Statistical data from reputable sources such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and national health departments will be analyzed to understand trends in hearing loss and the effectiveness of various interventions.
Causes of Hearing Problems
- Genetic Factors : Hereditary hearing loss is often caused by genetic mutations and can be present from birth or develop later in life.
- Environmental Factors : Exposure to loud noises, infections during pregnancy, and certain medications can lead to hearing loss.
- Lifestyle Factors : Poor ear hygiene, smoking, and prolonged exposure to loud music are significant contributors to hearing problems.
