To be able to hear and understand the sounds around you, your outer and inner ear, nervous system, and brain need to work together. Hearing trouble may be caused by problems anywhere along the path from your ear to your brain. Even if you usually hear normally, you may sometimes have trouble hearing because of noise or temporary fluid in your ear. Healthy hearing makes it easier to interact with others and to enjoy music and other activities.
