Hearing loss question for an assignment?
Posted January 11th, 2010 by admin 3 Comments »
My name is not bruce asked:
I have to write a paper for a class, really short (500 words).
I was given a case study about a guy….basically stated that he started to experience hearing loss at around age 19 to 20…and he’s about 24 or 25 now .
I have to write a paper for a class, really short (500 words).
I was given a case study about a guy….basically stated that he started to experience hearing loss at around age 19 to 20…and he’s about 24 or 25 now .
He has no symptoms besides hearing loss
Anyways, one of the questions i have to address is…..give 2 possible reasons for his hearing loss.
1 reason i thought of was noise induced hearing loss.
Having trouble thinking of a second reason.
I ruled out a buildup of earwax or other ailments, because in 5 years, they would have been spotted and cleared up. Also the case study doesn’t mention previous sicknesses or anything. So i have to assume he didn’t have any sort of ear infection.
I thought of a few hereditary causes…ones that hit in the teens… but they all have symptoms that don’t fit the situation.
Any help would be great
Oh and i’m not saying it is NOT hereditary.
Just i couldn’t find a hereditary disease that fit the situation.
