Deafness, according to the World Health Organization, is the complete loss of the ability to hear from one or both ears. It can possibly be a cause of inheritance from deaf parents or birth complications, diseases or infection of the ear, exposure from loud noises, and usage of ototoxic drugs. It was said, however, that half of the deafness cases that we have right now can be prevented with safety measures. The idea of course is to stay away from all of those causes that can be avoided.

A use of hearing aid may be fine but of course, you would rather have a good set of ears than to buy one of those tools for hearing. At this point, keeping yourself healthy and making sure that your immune system is strong can be a great way to prevent deafness from happening. Among all of the causes mentioned above, inheritance is the only thing that cannot be avoided so if you were gifted of hearing, better take care of it as much as you can because this may be a cliché but the fact is, prevention is always better than cure and there is nothing better than living a healthy life without any form of complications.
