Anil Baghi Hospital, the NABH-accredited super specialty hospital and No. 1 ranked hospital in Punjab by the National Health Authority and State Health Agencies Punjab, is raising awareness about the various causes of hearing loss and encouraging individuals to seek timely professional help.
According to the World Health Organization (WHO), over 466 million people worldwide live with disabling hearing loss. While age-related hearing loss is the most common cause, several other factors can contribute to this condition, including:
• Viral infections.
• Ear diseases.
• Noise exposure.
• Childhood illnesses.
• Brain tumors and head injuries.
• Genetic factors.
Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial in managing hearing loss and preventing further complications. Anil Baghi Hospital emphasizes the importance of consulting an ENT specialist like Dr. Asitama Sarkar for evaluation and appropriate treatment options.
Dr. Asitama Sarkar, a highly qualified and experienced ENT specialist at Anil Baghi Hospital, says, “Ignoring hearing loss can significantly impact an individual’s quality of life.
The hospital encourages individuals to be aware of the potential causes of hearing loss and to schedule regular checkups with an ENT specialist, especially if they experience any symptoms like difficulty hearing conversations, needing to turn up the volume on electronic devices, or having trouble understanding speech in noisy environments.
