  • waxing of the ear canal, 
  • infections such as otitis media, 
  • hardness of the ossicles, 
  • congenital causes, 
  • elderly hearing loss, 
  • tumors that pressure the nerve and the list goes on.

Accurate diagnosis is the cornerstone for treating hearing problems and depends on the examination of the ear, which is recommended to be conducted using a microscope or microscope ear otoscope rigid otoscope.

  • Hearing tests are very important for the diagnosis and treatment of hearing loss. An impedance meter is used to measure movement of the drum membrane and pressure within the middle ear and helps in detecting any loss of work of the Eustachian tube. It can also detect the presence of effusion in the middle ear, which is very common in children.
  • A pure tone audiogram determines the degree of hearing loss in each ear, and also determines which part of the ear is responsible for said hearing loss
