Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. There are two types of hearing loss: temporary threshold shift and permanent hearing loss. Temporary hearing loss occurs after exposure to a sudden burst of sound, causing the hair cells to become fatigued. Hearing typically recovers after a short period.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. The cause of tinnitus is usually idiopathic. Most people experience tinnitus at some point in their lives, and it often goes away as suddenly as it started.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As you mentioned, there were four tests conducted. Could you provide more details about these tests? The term 'noisy' is typically associated with the OAE (otoacoustic emission) test. The symptoms you have described in your daughter, such as sudden intolerance to loud sounds, could indicate issues like recruitment or possibly behavioral concerns. I recommend consulting a qualified ear specialist and an audiologist.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I saw your audiogram. As you can see, the hearing has been marked across various loud levels. Your threshold up to 4000 Hz is well within the normal range. Many people experience a dip in high-frequency areas like 6000 Hz (Hertz) and 8000 Hz, but the main range responsible for hearing and understanding speech is from 500 to 4000 Hz, which is all in the normal range.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. I understand your concern. According to the reports (attachment removed to protect patient identity), there is a dip at 4000 Hz, which indicates noise-induced hearing loss.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is common to feel a blockage in the ears after exposure to loud sounds; this is known as ear fatigue. Loud noises can cause the hair cells in the ear to become fatigued, and it may indicate sensitivity to hearing loss. It is advisable to avoid noisy environments, as prolonged exposure can lead to hearing loss more quickly, especially if recovery takes several days instead of just a few hours. Use ear protection or earplugs in noisy settings to prevent further issues.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. Firstly, I would like to know if his motor milestones are adequate. If they are not, please have his hearing evaluated by an audiologist.

Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. As reported by you, there is some improvement in the left ear; however, despite all the treatments, the loss is sometimes not entirely reversible. Thus, there is a high chance that the damage to the left ear will remain, which is mild at low frequencies. The key frequencies responsible for speech perception are 500 Hz, 1000 Hz, and 2000 Hz, which are mildly affected. However, your right ear will compensate, so there should not be much problem with communication.
