What is Hearing Loss?

Understanding Hearing Loss: Causes, Symptoms & Treatment

Hearing loss is a common condition affecting people of all ages, impacting communication, social interactions, and overall quality of life. If left untreated, it can lead to cognitive decline and social isolation.

Types of Hearing Loss

  • Conductive Hearing Loss – Caused by blockages or damage in the outer/middle ear (e.g., earwax buildup, infections).
  • Sensorineural Hearing Loss – Damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, often due to aging or prolonged noise exposure.
  • Mixed Hearing Loss – A combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

Common Symptoms

  • Difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments
  • Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
  • Ringing or buzzing sounds in the ears (tinnitus)
  • Muffled or distorted hearing

Diagnosis & Treatment

  • Hearing Tests & Audiometry – Precise assessments by audiologists to determine hearing ability.
  • Hearing Aids & Cochlear Implants – Advanced solutions to restore sound clarity.
  • Medical or Surgical Treatments – For conductive hearing loss cases.
