Hearing Problem

[jlxbboy]

I recently went to a doctor to find out the hearing problems, he said I have a nerve damage within my ear. This doctor said there is no treatment for it. Is there a treatment for it or it is impossible to restore hearing.

I think you need to get clarification about "nerve damage" because if it is your cochlear nerve that is damaged it is not possible to correct. Other hearing deficits can be treated with appropriate hearing aids.

How is your balance? Try a new Otorhinolaryngologist. Good luck

Yep, Jolier's right.  Cochlear nerves are one of the only nerves in the body that cannot regenerate, regrow, and cannot be treated or repaired.  (interesting fact:  nerves elsewhere in the body grows 1 mm per day in a still-developing body)  Cochlear implant surgeries are possible for severly deafened individuals, BUT there's the risk of facial paralysis amongst others plus the surgery itself destroys a huge part of what hearing's left just so it can work so you'd still be stuck on square one when the surgery's over.
