Problem at left ear

2022-03-24 13:42:24
Hello, My wife facing some problem at left ear, she can barely hear anything (or let's say, she can only hear 20 %, and the rest 80% can't). Kindly suggest what should be done and what medication can help.

get her hearing test done first , the hearing loss could be due to some problem in sound conduction or issues with inner ear , sometimes a subtle cold also gives hearing loss and sometimes a wax build up or damaged ear drum also gives hearing loss , first check with hearing then treatment can be planned
