The Four Types of Hearing Loss

 Hearing loss has many causes and is classified into four types. “Sensorineural” hearing loss takes place in the inner ear and is most often caused by aging or noise exposure. It is the most common type of hearing loss. “Conductive” hearing loss occurs in the middle ear as the result of sounds that are not properly transmitted through the ear canal to the eardrum, making noises sound quieter than they normally would. “Mixed” hearing loss happens when there is a combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss. Finally, “auditory neuropathy spectrum disorder” (ANSD) arises when the ear is functioning properly,  but the signals sent to the brain are disrupted. This is the least common type of hearing loss.  

Whatever type of hearing loss you may have, a hearing test heads the list of  how to determine its appropriate  treatment approach. There are three purposes of a hearing test: One is to ascertain whether there is a hearing loss problem. The second is to pinpoint the exact cause of the hearing loss. The third provides a solution. Begin your quest for better hearing with a call to ABSOLUTE HEARING SOLUTIONS, where we offer comprehensive services by a skilled and specially trained hearing aid specialist, including hearing tests and evaluations, individualized hearing instrument fittings, and follow-up care. 

P.S. More than 90 percent of people who wear hearing aids are experiencing sensorineural hearing loss, which is caused by damage to the nerve fibers in the inner ear.
