Aging and being around a lot of loud noise can cause these problems of hearing loss or tinnitus.
There are also many medical conditions, such as: benign ear tumors, head trauma, ears that are shaped differently than normal, viruses, and allergies.
Hearing loss occurs when sound enters the ear normally, but due to damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, the sound is not processed in a way that the brain can interpret. The normal range of hearing for humans is approximately 20 to 20,000 Hz. Some animals can hear up to 50,000 Hz. Human language is generally between 500 and 3,000 H
