• The most common cause of hearing loss is a gradual buildup of earwax or fluid in the ear. Too much ear wax might block the ear canal, thereby preventing conduction of sound waves. Hopefully, this can be easily restored with earwax removal.
• Also, hearing loss can be caused by a head injury or some illnesses such as measles, mumps, meningitis, and encephalitis. People suffering from diabetes, cardiovascular disease or chronic kidney disease are also exposed to hearing loss.
• One common cause of hearing loss is too loud noises. So, if you work with noisy equipment or regularly listen to music at a high volume, you're at high risk of hearing loss. However, acoustic trauma can also happen as a result of a sudden exposure to an exceptionally loud noise.
• Age is one more cause of hearing loss. Did you know that people begin to lose hearing from 40 years? And by the age of 70, most seniors have serious hearing problems.

• Men are more likely to suffer from hearing problems than women. Perhaps, this is so because many men work in loud environments with noisy equipment.
• Do you remember the noise of a seashell that we usually call "the sound of the ocean". Actually, it's the sound of our blood running through the veins in the ear.
• The human ear is not only capable of hearing all around. It is also a part of the vestibular apparatus, that's why people suffering from an ear infection often feel balance difficulties.
• Ears like a nose grow throughout a human life.
• Insects such as crickets and grasshoppers are listening with their front paws.
• As statistics shows, 72% of people turn their right ear to hear a conversation.
• One out of ten people suffers from hearing problems. And only four out of five people with hearing problems, use hearing aids.
• Ears are capable of self-cleaning. The pores in the ear canal emit wax while special hairs push it outwards.

The first hearing aids have their roots in the 17th century. They looked like trumpets, being wide at one end and narrow at the other. Such ear trumpets were produced from sea shells, animal horns, and glass. Of course, they were heavy, bulky and absolutely unsuitable for wearing on the body.

The first electric hearing aid was invented in 1898 by Miller Reese Hutchison. It called the Akouphone and consisted of an amplifier, a microphone, headphones and a battery. However, it was not portable and worked only when placed on a table.

Portable electric hearing aids were introduced in the early 1900s. They were pretty expensive and bulky since amplifiers had to be hung around the neck while the microphone had to be held in the hand. The hearing aids took a step forward with the invention of the vacuum tube in the 1920s.

Yet, until the invention of the transistor in 1947, it was impossible to build smaller amplifiers. The first transistor hearing aids made their debut in 1953. They were much better and smaller than vacuum tubes. And since the 1960s, the in-the-canal hearing aids have been invented.

With the development of digital sound processing during the mid-1980s, hearing aids incorporated the functionality of a tiny programmable computer that could process millions of different sounds digitally. Today, hearing aids come in all shapes and sizes to suit the needs of different people!

• The sound level is measured in decibels. More than 120 dB are painful to our ears, such volume may lead to hearing damage, while 200 decibels are fatal.
• Sound and noise are absolutely different phenomena. The sound comes from vibrations, whereas the noise is just a mixture of sounds.
• Why does your voice sound so different on a recording? This is due to the fact that when you speak, you hear your voice with the inner and outer ear, but when you listen to your recorded speech, the sound waves reach only your outer ear. So, the recording doesn't lie! This is your actual voice!
• Do you know what is the most common sound on the Earth? It is the sound /a/ that can be found absolutely in all languages of the world.
• You can even not to notice a hearing loss since it's a gradual process. Yet, it's vitally important to find out the cause of hearing loss at the very beginning.
