The ear consists of three parts: the outer ear, middle ear, and inner ear.

Any damage or obstruction in these parts causes hearing loss. Hearing loss can be caused by many different things, some of which can be successfully treated with medicine or surgery, depending on the cause and the extent of the damage,
