Types of Hearing Loss
There are three types of hearing loss: conductive, sensorineural, and mixed.
Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound waves are unable to reach the inner ear due to an obstruction or damage to the outer or middle ear.
Sensorineural hearing loss happens when there is damage to the inner ear or the nerves that transmit sound to the brain.
Mixed hearing loss is a combination of both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
Common causes of hearing loss include aging, exposure to loud noises, genetics, illness, and certain medications.
