How trauma affects hearing

Physical damage to one or both ears can affect your hearing, whether for a short or longer depending on the severity of the damage caused by the trauma. The only damage that may be present in one ear if the trauma occurred on one side of the head as a result of a blow. Head injury and can lead to hearing damage as the actual injury can affect the nerves or other sensitive systems that link directly to both ears. The same can be said of the damage caused by inner ear infections. Maybe one or both ears can be damaged by infection and the level of damage depends on the magnitude of the problem of infection. The typical effects of such traumas are: partial loss or total loss of hearing in one or both ears, partial loss of the frequency in which you only lose the ability to hear certain sound levels, and of course the appearance sounds that have no obvious source, the condition known as tinnitus.
