Where to start?

How can hearing loss be diagnosed and treated?

Without functioning hearing, people can not communicate their ideas and thoughts. This lack of interaction is a bleak way to live, and with the population aging and constant electronic streams, the problem is only getting worse. Therefore an important research question that must be asked is how hearing loss be diagnosed and treated.

Diagnosis- Audiologist, other health professional

Evaluate type, degree, and configuration of hearing loss

Treatment- Aids, Surgery

I am interested in this question because I have hearing trouble and know the annoyance of not being able to hear. I am also considering becoming an audiologist.


Other questions I am considering:

What types of alternative medicine are reliable and which are not? How do they work?

What are the common characteristics of different religions?

I think this is a great topic to research and I hope you can find stuff out about it! It is a noble cause to be able to allow those who cannot hear to hear again! You might try to interview a deaf person with a hearing aid and a nurse or doctor who have to deal with deaf people
