Hearing Loss Prevention Classes & Information

Types of Hearing Loss

HEARING LOSS IS DEFINED AS EITHER CONDUCTIVE OR SENSORINEURAL.

CONDUCTIVE - When sound cannot reach the inner ear through normal air conduction channels, the hearing loss is considered to be conductive. Conductive hearing loss is often responsive to medical or surgical treatment

SENSORINEURAL - This type of hearing loss results from disease or damage in the cochlea (inner ear) or along the nerve pathway from the inner ear to the brain. This type of hearing loss is permanent.

CAUSES OF HEARING LOSS:

Excessive noise exposure.
Presbycusis - the aging process.
Tumors and other space occupying lesions.
Vascular and circulatory disorders.
Heredity.

Hearing loss can severely affect ones ability to communicate with friends and family, enjoy music, or even play a musical instrument. It not only subdues the volume but often distorts sounds, like speech and music, making them unclear or unnatural. Hearing loss can be compared to listening to music through a blown speaker, we can turn the volume up but that just makes the distortion louder.

Even short term exposure to loud noise can permanently damage your hearing.
