What Is Hearing Loss?

Hearing loss occurs when your ability to hear sounds is reduced. It can affect one or both ears and may develop gradually over time.

Early diagnosis and treatment are essential to maintaining communication, confidence, and overall quality of life.

Causes of Hearing Loss

You May Be Experiencing Hearing Loss If You:

  • Frequently ask people to repeat themselves

  • Increase the volume on TV or phone

  • Struggle to hear in noisy environments

  • Experience ringing in the ears (tinnitus)

  • Feel that others are mumbling

  • Avoid social situations due to difficulty hearing

Types of Hearing Loss

Conductive Hearing Loss

Caused by blockages or damage in the outer or middle ear that prevent sound from reaching the inner ear.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. This is the most common type and is often age-related.

Mixed Hearing Loss

A combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

Treatment and Management

Treatment depends on the type and severity of hearing loss. Options may include medical treatment, earwax removal, hearing aids, or other assistive technologies.
