Types of Hearing Loss

-A sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the inner ear (cochlea) or hearing nerve. This is typically a permanent type of hearing loss that usually can be helped with a hearing aid.

-A conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is not conducted efficiently through the ear canal, ear drum or middle ear. This is often reversible with medical or surgical intervention. If surgery is not recommended, hearing aids may be appropriate.

-A mixed hearing loss occurs when someone has a combination of a sensorineural hearing loss and a conductive hearing loss.
