听力损失on one side
听力损失on one side occurs when you have difficulty hearing or you have deafness that affects only one of your ears. People with this condition may have problems understanding speech in crowded environments, locating the source of a sound, and tuning out background noise.
This condition is also known as unilateral hearing loss or unilateral deafness. It may be described as deafness in one ear or on one side, hearing loss in one ear, or inability to hear from one ear. You should still be able to hear clearly with your other ear.
如果您遇到任何类型的听力损失，则应始终与医生联系。一侧或两者兼有的突然听力损失是医疗紧急情况，需要立即进行医疗护理。您的医生将能够提供治疗选择，并可能将您转介给专家。
Depending on the cause of your hearing loss, your doctor might recommend medications, surgery, or a hearing aid. In some cases, the condition will go away without treatment.
There are many possible causes for hearing loss on one side, including:
- 耳朵受伤
- 暴露于大声噪音或某些药物
- blockage of the ear
- 瘤
- 疾病
Hearing changes can be a natural outcome of aging. Some causes are reversible, like蜡的堆积in the ear canal or耳朵感染with fluid buildup. Some are irreversible, like those due to problems with the function of the ear itself.

在您的访问期间，您的医生将检查您的症状和病史，并对耳朵，鼻子和喉咙进行身体检查。
Your doctor may also order a hearing test. During this test, your doctor or a specialist known as an audiologist will measure how you respond to a range of sounds and tones at various volume levels. These tests can help your doctor determine the part of the ear that is affected, which can provide clues as to the underlying cause of the hearing loss.
听力损失的治疗选择将取决于病情的原因。在某些情况下，听力损失将是不可逆转的。您的医生可能会推荐助听器，以帮助您改善您的听力，如果您没有其他治疗方法来进行听力损失。
Other treatment options may include:
- 手术以修复耳朵或切除肿瘤
- 抗生素治疗感染
- 类固醇减少炎症和肿胀
- stopping use of the medication that may be causing the hearing loss
听力损失caused by wax buildup can be treated by gently removing the earwax. You can try over-the-counter products at home such as hydrogen peroxide, a few drops of mineral oil, baby oil, or earwax removal products such as Debrox. You should always seek professional help if these products do not improve your condition within a few days. Prolonged use of these products can cause irritation to your ears. If you have a foreign object in your ear that is affecting your hearing, do not attempt to remove it on your own. Never insert cotton swabs or any objects such as tweezers to remove a foreign body, as these objects can cause ear injury. If you are experiencing any additional symptoms like dizziness, facial weakness, imbalance, or neurological symptoms, you should be evaluated by your doctor immediately.
