What Caused My Tinnitus?

There are many different reasons why you may have partially or completely lost your hearing. These types of injuries can occur from one major incident or over the course of many years due to repeated exposure to dangers. In either case, it is possible that a person or an organization may have caused your tinnitus due to reckless or negligent actions.

• Exposure to loud noises
• Ototoxicity from certain medications
• Ear infection
• Mercury or lead poisoning
• Head trauma
• Multiple sclerosis
• Metabolic disorder

With so many different causes behind hearing loss, it may not be readily apparent who or what caused your injury. Determining which of these causes are behind your hearing loss takes time and investigation, but a skilled attorney can examine evidence while you focus on healing. By doing so, you will have the best chance at success.

While these causes of tinnitus can result from many different incidents, there may actually be specific people or organizations responsible for these damaging conditions. Excessively loud work environments, exposure to mercury or lead, car crashes or other accidents that cause head trauma, and medical malpractice can all lead to hearing loss. By finding out where yours originated, you can find out who should be held responsible.

How Can I Recover from Hearing Loss?

Unlike other types of injuries, humans do not have the capability to naturally heal from hearing loss. Once the ability to hear has been damaged, it remains at a compromised level, worsening with further exposure to damage. Surgeries and medications cannot naturally restore hearing capabilities.

However, there are ways to work around hearing loss. Hearing training and therapy can help you work around damage to your hearing and the persistent annoyance of tinnitus. Additionally, hearing aids can help to artificially restore hearing capabilities. Since there are different forms of hearing aids, it is important that you find the one that works best with your hearing difficulties.

Medical care and hearing aids can be expensive and may not be covered by your insurance. However, by proving that your hearing loss is the direct result of someone else’s wrongful actions, you can find success in your legal case and receive proper compensation to help you cope with your losses.
