Presbycusis is the leading cause of<unk>  and is progressive and nonpreventable, and at this time, we do not have either somatic or gene therapy to counter heredity-related<unk> . But other causes of acquired<unk>  are largely preventable, especially nosocusis type causes. This would involve avoiding environmental noise, and traumatic noise such as rock concerts and nightclubs with loud music. Use of noise attenuation measures like ear plugs is an alternative, as well as learning about the noise levels one is exposed to. Currently, several accurate sound level measurement apps exist. Reducing exposure time can also help manage risk from loud exposures. Noise Exposure Limits
Sensorineural hearing loss
Conductive hearing loss
Prelingual deafness
Spatial hearing loss
Unilateral hearing loss
Hemifacial hypertrophy
