Hearing loss can happen to anyone and it occurs as a consequence of cochlear hair cell loss.

Luckily, there are such things as cochlear implants

Deaf people, both children and adults, make up a significant population in the world today. Cochlear implants open a door full of opportunities to deaf children.
