Discover the Types of Hearing Loss
When it comes to hearing loss, understanding the different types can make all the difference. There are three main categories: conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss.

When it comes to hearing loss, understanding the different types can make all the difference. There are three main categories: conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss.
Conductive Hearing Loss
This type of hearing loss happens when sounds are not properly transmitted through the outer ear canal to the eardrum and to the small bones of the middle ear, called ossicles. Typically, this results in a decrease in the volume of a sound, making it harder to hear softer sounds. This type of hearing loss can often be treated with medical or surgical interventions.
Examples of conditions that may cause conductive hearing loss include:
- Fluid in the middle ear from colds
- Allergies (serous otitis media)
- Poor eustachian tube function
- Ear infection (otitis media)
- Perforated eardrum
- Benign tumors
- Impacted earwax (cerumen)
- Infection in the ear canal (external otitis)
- Presence of a foreign body
- Absence or malformation of the outer ear, ear canal, or middle ear
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural hearing loss is a permanent condition caused by damage to the inner ear or nerve pathways to the brain. This type of hearing loss goes beyond diminished sound reception and can impact speech understanding. It can be linked to genetic syndromes, viruses, noise exposure, aging, and more. Unfortunately, it cannot be corrected through surgery or medicine. Gain a deeper understanding of this condition and its effects.
Mixed Hearing Loss
Mixed hearing loss can happen when there is damage to both the outer or middle ear and the inner ear or auditory nerve, resulting in a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. It’s important to recognize this type of hearing loss and seek proper treatment.
Causes of Hearing Loss in Adults
Discovering the root cause of hearing loss in adults can be a complex process, as it can stem from a variety of factors ranging from diseases or infections to exposure to loud noises or even the natural aging process.
Common causes include:
- Otosclerosis
- Meniere’s disease
- Medications
- Harmful noise levels
- Acoustic neuroma
- Trauma
- Presbycusis
Alongside hearing loss, one may experience tinnitus, a condition characterized by ringing in the ears, although it can also manifest without any apparent hearing loss. If you or someone you know is experiencing these symptoms, it’s crucial to seek a professional medical evaluation to determine the underlying cause of the issue.
