Amblyaudia, or lazy ear, is an auditory condition where usually one ear is suppressed. It may sound like everyone has a lisp. Amblyaudia itself isn't contagious, but the amblyopia that caused it and the lisp it causes it are.

Causes[edit | edit source]

Amblyaudia can be caused by amblyopia spreading from the eye to the ear.

Symptoms[edit | edit source]

  • Hearing that sounds like everybody has a lisp.
  • Lisp
  • Ears that don't seem to work together
  • Poor results on hearing screening tests
  • Head tilt

Treatment[edit | edit source]

Amblyaudia can be treated by wearing an ear-patch on the stronger ear so the weaker ear works harder.
