You will need to have a comprehensive hearing test to determine your current hearing status. Unfortunately, if you have not had a hearing test within the past two years with which to compare, there is not way to definitively determine that the car accident CAUSED the hearing loss.

Using the ear phones is fine as long as you keep the decibel level down. Anything over 85 dB for 4 hours or more can lead to hearing loss. Turn the volume down, and use ear phones with external sound reduction, so you don't feel compelled to turn the volume up. Have your hearing tested by an audiologist so you have a baseline test and then monitor your hearing with a hearing test every 2 years. Angela R.

You may be experiencing some eustachian tube disfunction. This is when the trap door that opens into the middle ear space to equalize the pressure is not opening properly. This could be due to allergies or an oncoming cold. You could also be experiencing some pulsatile tinnitus, where you are hearing blood pumping in a vessel close to the ear, possibly due to some restriction in the vessel. Consult with your physician.

Yes hear loss can have a hereditary component. You may be more susceptible to hearing loss, but environmental noise exposure often plays a greater role in hearing loss that occurs later in life. Knowing that your father has developed hearing loss, you would be wise to be proactive in protecting your own hearing whenever you will be exposed to noise. Low cost, easy to use hearing protection is readily available at most drug stores and big box stores. Angela R. Sieh Ceretto, M.A., CCC-A, FAAA Audiologist Pinnacle Audiology, LLC 6809 S.

Your are wise to protect your hearing now. Any noise/sound 85 decibels (dB) or greater can lead to hearing damage. For example the sound of an average gas powered lawn mower is around 85 dB. At 85 dB your exposure to that sound should not exceed 4 hours. The louder the sound, the less time it takes to cause damage. If you enjoy attending concerts, use of hearing protection would be advised. It is not necessary to completely block out the sound, but you do want to reduce the sound. A great option for a frequent concert goer, would be custom fit ear plugs with a sound filter that will reduce the sound without interfering so much with the overall experience. These filters are often changeable for different levels of sound reduction to use in different sound environments. Contact a local audiologist to get impressions of your ears and discuss the options.
