We often get asked, โWhat are the different types of hearing loss?โ
Letโs break it down:
๐ Conductive Hearing Loss
Caused by problems in the outer or middle ear โ like earwax buildup, infections, or fluid. Often temporary and treatable.
๐ง Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The most common type. This involves damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve โ often permanent and usually treated with hearing aids.
๐ Mixed Hearing Loss
A combination of conductive and sensorineural. It means both the outer/middle and inner ear are affected.
๐ No matter the type, understanding your hearing loss is the first step to better hearing โ and better living.
