The symptoms of hearing impairment vary depending on the cause. Some people experience sudden profound hearing loss, for example because of a viral infection or severe trauma to the ears, while others notice a gradual decrease in hearing.

Some causes of hearing impairment have symptoms other than sound loss, such as dizziness, whistling sounds in the ear and loss of balance or co-ordination.
