Our ear is comprised of 3 main components: Outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Sound travels in waves and passes from the outer ear to the ear drum. From the ear drum, sound is sounded via 3 small bones of the middle ear (malleus, incus and stapes). The sound wave is then amplified and passes into the inner ear, and conducted through fluid.
Inside the inner ear, the nerve cells translate the vibrations into electrical signals that are transmitted to the brain. From there, we interpret these signals as sound.
Causes of hearing loss

Hearing loss in children can occur and will be discussed in another section.

Your ENT doctor will first take a look at your medical history, find out more about the symptoms you’re experiencing and thereafter perform a thorough physical examination. This may include certain procedures such as flexible nasoendoscopy (a look into your nasal passages with a tiny camera). Your issues will be addressed and a suitable treatment plan will be devised for you.
Always talk to your child to prepare them for their ENT visit. Find out more about the issues they’re experiencing so that you can assist them in helping the ENT doctor understand their condition. Do bring along a list of their old medications and health booklet.
