Hearing loss is a common problem that can happen to anyone at any age. There are many kinds of hearing loss, and each one has its own causes and ways to treat it. Here’s a list of the different kinds of hearing loss and how to treat them:
Conductive hearing loss:
This kind of hearing loss happens when sound waves have trouble getting to the inner ear. Conductive hearing loss can be caused by things like ear infections, too much fluid in the middle ear, too much wax, or problems with the ear canal or eardrum. For conductive hearing loss, you might take medicine, have your earwax cleaned out, or have surgery to fix problems in the ear.
Sensorineural hearing loss:
This kind of hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve. Sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by getting older, being exposed to loud noise, genetics, infections, or medicines. Sensorineural hearing loss can be treated with hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other devices that help people hear better.
Mixed hearing loss:
This kind of hearing loss is a mix of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. Mixed hearing loss could be caused by a mix of the things that lead to each type of hearing loss. Treatments for both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss may be used to help people with mixed hearing loss.
Central hearing loss:
This kind of hearing loss happens when the auditory nerve pathways in the brain are damaged. Central hearing loss can be caused by a stroke, a tumor, or a disease that gets worse over time. Central hearing loss can be treated with speech therapy, cognitive therapy, or other methods that help the brain better process and understand sounds.
If you are having trouble hearing, you should see an audiologist or other hearing health professional to get a correct diagnosis and treatment plan. Depending on the type and severity of your hearing loss, you may be able to improve your hearing and quality of life with hearing aids, cochlear implants, assistive listening devices, or other treatments.
