Accurate hearing tests, honest treatment advice
Hearing loss can develop so gradually that it’s often missed for years — until conversations become harder to follow, the TV volume keeps creeping up, or a child seems inattentive at school. At our ENT clinic in Noida, we begin with a thorough ear examination and audiometry to understand exactly what type and degree of hearing loss you’re dealing with.
Whether the cause is age-related, noise-induced, linked to wax build-up or fluid behind the eardrum, or present from childhood, Dr. Manasi Mehra explains the finding in plain language and recommends the right next step — medical treatment, a minor procedure, or a properly fitted hearing aid.
Symptoms & Causes of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss can be gradual and easy to overlook — these are the signs to watch for in both adults and children.
Common symptoms
- Frequently asking people to repeat themselves
- Turning up TV or phone volume louder than before
- Difficulty following conversations in noisy places
- Ringing, buzzing or hissing sound in the ears (tinnitus)
- Feeling of fullness or blockage in the ear
- Children not responding to their name or soft sounds
Common causes & risk factors
- Ageing (presbycusis)
- Prolonged exposure to loud noise
- Earwax build-up or a foreign body in the ear canal
- Chronic ear infections or fluid behind the eardrum
- Certain medications (ototoxicity)
- Birth-related or genetic causes in children
When should you see an ENT specialist in Noida?
Hearing loss rarely improves on its own — an early hearing test helps identify treatable causes before they affect speech, learning or quality of life.
- Hearing loss in one or both ears
- A child not responding to sounds appropriately
- Ear fullness or pain along with reduced hearing
- Ringing or noise in the ears that doesn’t go away
- Sudden hearing loss (needs urgent evaluation)
- Family history of hearing loss

Frequently asked questions
At what age should hearing be tested?
Newborns should undergo a basic hearing screening, and adults above 50 are advised to get their hearing checked every 2–3 years, or sooner if they notice any change in hearing.
Can hearing loss be reversed?
It depends on the cause. Hearing loss from wax build-up, infection or fluid behind the eardrum is often reversible with treatment. Age-related or noise-induced hearing loss is usually permanent and managed with hearing aids.
Is ringing in the ears (tinnitus) always linked to hearing loss?
Not always, but tinnitus is commonly associated with some degree of hearing loss, so it’s best evaluated with a proper hearing test rather than ignored.
