My son is 11 years old and we often noticed that he was asking to repeat the things we say him. I thought that he was being careless and that's why asking like this. Last month my uncle came home and he too noticed this and said us to consult an ENT doctor. Doctor said that he is having otitis media problem, that is a fluid problem in the middle ear and that causes hearing loss. We consulted Westside audiology Services ( www.westeastaudiology.com/ ) and got hearing aids which suit him. Actually, we do not have any hearing issues, but my father had. Is hearing loss hereditary? Can anyone explain me about maintaining the hearing aids?
