According to the Centres for Disease Control and Prevention, the symptoms of Naegleria fowleri can start about five days after exposure to contaminated water.
This rare condition usually affects only one ear. However, in Alka’s case, it is said to have affected both her ears.
As per the WHO estimates, unresolved hearing loss issues would incur a whopping loss of one trillion dollars worldwide.
Sharing bacteria-laden earpieces can only help in spreading infections.
The research also found that the brain undergoes significant strain when struggling to process digital audio in comparison to sounds in a physical environment.
Doctors have warned about the increasing number of ear infections, particularly among children, caused by frequent visits to water parks.
