This is a question I’ve asked myself many times: is it a direct relationship between allergies and hearing? Many allergology specialists said there is no direct connection, however, severe allergies which involve inflammations of the internal ear may cause hearing loss, as consequence of another ailment which follows, namely otitis media.
Children are the biggest risk group when it comes to allergies and hearing loss, due to the fact that middle ear infections are very frequent amongst them. Statistics show that there are very few children who didn’t suffer from this kind of infection at least once in a lifetime.
As a conclusion, if you suspect your kids are allergic, you have all the resons in the world to get them tested as soon as possible, in order to avoid such complications given by allergies. Hearing loss, even temporary, is making big damage in young children, because their speech won’t develop properly if they can’t hear well.
Sometimes it is very simple to keep your child away from allergic reactions, simply by removing from alimentation the incriminated allergen. If he gets allergies each time he eats apples, wouldn’t it be so easy not to give him this food anymore than treat recurrent ear ailments which could cause him language and understanding problems that would affect him for the entire life?
Keep your children healthy and without allergies, hearing what they have to say when they feel seak.
