Deafness is a condition in which a person is unable to hear sound. It can be caused by a variety of factors, including genetics, birth defects, infections, and head injuries. Deafness can range from mild to profound, and it can affect one or both ears.

The symptoms of deafness can vary depending on the severity of the hearing loss. Some common symptoms include:
- Difficulty hearing speech
- Difficulty understanding conversations
- Problems hearing in noisy environments
- Tinnitus (ringing or buzzing in the ears)
- Dizziness or balance problems
What are the causes of deafness?
Deafness can be caused by a variety of factors, including:
- Genetics: Some people are born with deafness due to a genetic mutation.
- Birth defects: Some birth defects, such as Down syndrome and cleft lip and palate, can cause deafness.
- Infections: Infections, such as meningitis and measles, can damage the hearing nerves and cause deafness.
- Head injuries: Head injuries can damage the hearing bones or nerves, causing deafness.
- Loud noise: Exposure to loud noise can damage the hair cells in the inner ear, causing hearing loss.
How is deafness treated?
There is no cure for deafness, but there are a variety of treatments that can help people with hearing loss to live full and active lives. These treatments include:
- Hearing aids: Hearing aids are devices that amplify sound and make it easier for people with hearing loss to hear.
- Cochlear implants: Cochlear implants are surgically implanted devices that can restore hearing in people with severe to profound hearing loss.
