Hearing loss:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Although congenital hearing loss may produce no obvious signs of hearing impairment at birth, a deficient response to auditory stimuli generally becomes apparent within 2 to 3 days. As the child grows older, hearing loss impairs speech development.
Sudden deafness may be conductive, sensorineural, or mixed, depending on etiology. Associated clinical features depend on the underlying cause.
Noise-induced hearing loss causes sensorineural damage, the extent of which depends on the duration and intensity of the noise. Initially, the patient loses perception of certain frequencies (around 4,000 Hz) but, with continued exposure, eventually loses perception of all frequencies.
Presbycusis usually produces tinnitus and the inability to understand the spoken word.
PEDIATRIC TIP The behavior of an infant who’s deaf may appear normal and mislead the parents as well as the professional, especially if the infant has autosomal recessive deafness and is the first child of carrier parents.

Benign tumors of the ear canal:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
A benign ear tumor is usually asymptomatic, unless it becomes infected, in which case pain, fever, or inflammation may result. (Pain is usually a sign of a malignant tumor.) If the tumor grows large enough to obstruct the ear canal by itself or through accumulated cerumen and debris, it may cause hearing loss and the sensation of pressure.

Hearing loss:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
The four types of hearing loss have different signs and symptoms:
❑ Although congenital hearing loss may produce no obvious signs of hearing impairment at birth, a deficient response to auditory stimuli generally becomes apparent within 2 to 3 days of birth. As the child grows older, hearing loss impairs speech development.
❑ Sudden hearing loss may be conductive, sensorineural, or mixed, depending on its cause. Associated clinical features depend on the underlying cause.
❑ Noise-induced hearing loss causes sensorineural damage, the extent of which depends on the duration and intensity of the noise. Initially, the patient loses perception of certain frequencies (around 4,000 Hz) but with continued exposure eventually loses perception of all frequencies.
