Hearing loss often develops gradually, leading many individuals to adapt unconsciously by turning up the television or asking others to repeat themselves. Understanding the warning signs allows for early and effortless correction.
Types of Hearing Loss
There are two primary categories of hearing impairment:
- Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Damage to the inner ear nerve pathways, often related to age (presbycusis) or noise exposure.
- Conductive Hearing Loss: Obstruction or stiffness in the outer or middle ear, often treatable with medical intervention.
- Mixed Hearing Loss: A combination of inner and outer/middle ear factors.
