Guide to Hearing Aids

Types of Hearing Loss

Understanding the different types and degrees of hearing loss can help you choose the right treatment options and hearing aid styles. The most common types of hearing loss include sensorineural and conductive hearing loss.

Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve, often caused by factors like aging, noise exposure, or genetics. Conductive hearing loss typically involves issues in the outer or middle ear, such as earwax blockages, fluid buildup, or problems with the ear's bones.

Signs of Hearing Loss

Do you know the signs of hearing loss? Some of the most common signs of hearing loss include struggling to hear or understand conversations and having difficulty hearing in noisy environments. You may also find yourself turning up the volume on the TV or radio, asking people to repeat themselves, or thinking others are mumbling. Tinnitus, that ringing or buzzing sound in your ears, can also be a sign of hearing loss.
