Hereditary forms include <a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/hearing\/hearing-problems\/\">Usher\u2019s Syndrome<\/a>, Waardenburg\u2019s Syndrome and Buchem\u2019s Disease. Examples of deafness due to a disease or accident are:  <\/p>\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>meningitis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/en\/hearing\/hearing-problems\/\">ear infection<\/a>;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>rubella during pregnancy;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>drug poisoning;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tumors;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>tympanosclerosis;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>sudden changes in pressure such as when flying or diving;<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/hoorproblemen\">otoscelerosis<\/a> or ossification of parts of the inner and middle ear.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prelingual and postlingual deafness<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When someone is born deaf or becomes deaf before the development of spoken language has started (before the third year of life), they are called prelingually deaf. Postlingually deaf means that someone has become deaf after the development of spoken language. We distinguish between sudden deafness, in which a person becomes deaf from one moment to the next, and late deafness, in which this happens gradually.  <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Treatments<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sometimes deafness is temporary. Think of an ear infection, cold or extreme pressure changes. With some rest and\/or a possible painkiller or antibiotics, the ear will then recover on its own. When someone is permanently deaf, this cannot be cured, nor are there any aids to improve it. In young children, there is still the possibility of inserting a cochlear implant (CI). This is surgically inserted and stimulates the auditory nerve, allowing them to still perceive sounds. A cochlear implant can be inserted as early as seven months of age.      <\/p>\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-horizontal is-content-justification-center is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-7d812b4c wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/maak-een-afspraak\/\" style=\"background-color:#a2cb58\">Make an appointment<\/a><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-button is-style-outline is-style-outline--1\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link has-white-color has-text-color has-background wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.horendgoed.nl\/shop\/\" style=\"background-color:#ff4400\">Shop Online<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We speak of deafness when a hearing loss of 90 dB or more has occurred.
