We usually take for granted our capacity for hearing unless it is damaged. Most people experience hearing loss gradually over time, making it more difficult to follow conversations and making the environment quieter on a daily basis. Unaware that a more severe medical issue may be involved, people typically just adjust and neglect therapy.
This brings to light the situation of Mr. Shankar (name changed), a 24-year-old man with a decade-long history of progressive hearing loss. Apart from his worsening hearing, he also suffered from tinnitus, a ringing in his ears. His problem went undetected despite several consultations until he was given the correct treatment, which corrected his hearing loss.
