Hearing loss risks and treatment in Turkey

Overview

Medical specialists in Turkey are highlighting the causes, risks, and treatment options for hearing loss. Dr. Zeki Özsoy has warned that acoustic trauma from loud music, factory environments, or firearms can cause permanent damage, particularly in young people. He also noted that early diagnosis through programs like Turkey’s Newborn Hearing Screening Program is vital for speech development.

Addressing treatment, Prof. Dr. Mehmet Akif Somdaş has urged patients to prioritize medical intervention over aesthetic concerns regarding hearing aids. He noted that modern advancements, such as magnetic bone-anchored hearing systems, allow for treatments that do not require skin-piercing screws, thereby preserving skin integrity and reducing the visibility of external components.
