Can chronic ear infections cause deafness?
I have had eat infections since young childhood because my parents smoked around me constantly. As an adult I still get ear infections which last for days or weeks on end. As soon as one infection is cured a new one will start up. I was wondering if chronic ear infections can lead to deafness. I don't listen to loud music at all, but my job requires me to listen to people through headphones all day. Lately I've began to notice that its a little harder to hear from my left ear. Any thoughts?
