  • Hear ringing in your ears or your own pulse? These could be signs of hearing conditions you should know about.

The article from MSN discusses five common hearing conditions that individuals should be aware of, along with guidance on when to seek medical advice. It covers Conductive Hearing Loss, where sound waves are not conducted efficiently through the ear canal to the eardrum, often due to earwax buildup or fluid; Sensorineural Hearing Loss, which involves damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, commonly from aging or noise exposure; Mixed Hearing Loss, a combination of both conductive and sensorineural losses; Sudden Hearing Loss, an urgent condition where hearing loss occurs rapidly and requires immediate medical attention; and Tinnitus, characterized by ringing or buzzing in the ears, which might be a symptom of underlying issues like hearing loss or ear injury. The article advises seeing a doctor if there's a sudden change in hearing, persistent ear pain, or if symptoms like tinnitus are bothersome or affect daily life.
