What Causes Hearing Loss In A Child?
Hello Doctor, I cleaned my daughter (3 and half years old) ears and she complaints that she s unable to hear on her right ear. At first she saids I put the Q-tips too deep but I don t think so as I always clean the same way and she never complaint except tonight that she said she can t hear. What would be the problem?

Hello,
Sudden hearing loss after cleaning ear with buds in first thought, appears to be due rupture of tympanic membrane or due to wax deposition.
But it needs to be confirmed by ENT surgeon, also hearing loss to be tested.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sachin Kumar Agarwal
