Types of Hearing Loss
Hearing loss falls into one of three major categories.
1. Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural loss is related to a problem in the inner ear. It is the most common form of hearing loss and is the type most commonly corrected with hearing aids. Causes include:
- Age
- Infection
- Noise exposure
2. Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive loss refers to a problem in the outer or middle ear and usually indicates normal inner ear activity. This loss is usually treatable with medical or surgical intervention. Causes include:
- Wax in the ear canal
- Perforation of the ear drum
- Fluid in the middle ear
3. Mixed Hearing Loss
This type of hearing problem occurs when both conductive and sensorineural loss are present. The conductive component may be treated, minimizing hearing loss slightly. But the sensorineural component is permanent.
