Graph and Citation

This graph shows several causes of hearing loss such as genetics, trauma, treatment side effects, disease, and unknown factors. About fifty percent of hearing loss is caused through genetics. Approximately one fourths of all hearing loss cases are triggered by disease, trauma, or side effects to medications or treatments. Hearing loss, such as mine, also can have an unknown cause. Hearing loss can be caused by a combination of factors before birth and after. This graph helps me analyze the different causes of hearing loss and helps me figure out if a certain factor results in a certain level of hearing loss. This graph helps explain the causes of hearing loss in a brief and simple way.
