• Inflammation

  We presume that the hearing impairment was due to auditory nerve neuritis related to extension of inflammation of the meninges. This is the first reported case of EBV-associated meningitis showing hearing impairment. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  Perforations (holes) of the eardrum, wax, ear infection or inflammation, otosclerosis, and trauma are potential sources of conductive hearing loss. This type of hearing loss may be surgically correctable. [evms.edu]
