Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

I am having hearing loss. I have been noticing that I have to ask people to repeat themselves more often, and I have difficulty understanding conversations in noisy environments. I am worried about my hearing, and I am going to see a doctor to get it checked out. Kindly give your suggestion on this.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I have read your query and understand your concern. Regarding your symptoms of hearing loss, you have the following diagnosis: hearing impairment due to nerve conduction. Have you had any ear discharge, injury, family history of hearing loss, upper respiratory infection, or throat infection previously? If the hearing loss is getting severe, you may need an ear aid but if mild, tell your doctor to watch your ear. If your symptoms persist, schedule another appointment. I hope you find this helpful.

Thank you.
