Hearing Loss Types

  • Once your hearing has been tested, you're hearing
    healthcare provider will probably categorize your
    loss. This categorization is based on the
    location of the cause of the hearing impairment.
    There are 3 main types of hearing impairment is
    conductive, sensor neural, and mixed.

4
  • Hearing aid center in Chennai will cure your
    hearing loss easily with a new advanced
    technology.
  • Conductive hearing loss is typified by defect,
    dysfunction, or damage of the outer ear, middle
    ear, or any combination of the two. This includes
    the visible portions of the outer ear, the
    external ear canal, the tympanic membrane (ear
    drum), and the middle ear located behind the
    tympanic membrane where the small vibratory bones
    are located.

5
  • For those with conductive hearing loss, the
    volume of sound will be a principal issue.
    Incoming sounds may seem to be dull, muffled,
    diminished, or softer than normal. Many patients
    complain of having plugged, full, or stopped up
    ears.

6
  • Sensor neural hearing loss is typified by defect,
    dysfunction, or damage of the inner ear
    (cochlea), hearing nerve, or any combination of
    the two. This type of hearing impairment may also
    be called sensory loss, inner ear loss, cochlear
    hearing impairment, nerve deafness or nerve loss.
    Sensor neural hearing impairment is common in the
    older population and in people at risk for
    excessive noise exposure.

7
  • Comprehension and understanding will most often
    be the principal issue for those suffering with
    sensor neural loss. Patients commonly complain
    that others are mumbling, speaking unclear,
    and/or talking too rapidly. Most patients will
    say that they can 'hear', but that they do not
    understand. By consulting Audiologist in Chennai,
    you can get a better solution to overcome you
    hearing loss.

8
  • Mixed loss of hearing is typified by defect,
    dysfunction, or damage in a combination of the
    areas where conductive and sensor neural hearing
    loss occurs. Therefore, this hearing impairment
    occurs in not only the outer and/or middle ear
    but also the inner ear and/or hearing nerve.
    Loudness and comprehension/understanding will be
    an issue for those with mixed hearing impairment.

9
  • Any combination of symptoms of conductive and
    sensor neural hearing loss can be expected.
    Siemens hearing aid dealers in Chennai will
    provides you better solution to your hearing loss
    problem
  • There are two other uncommon categories of loss,
    including functional and central hearing
    impairment. Functional hearing loss is not an
    actual hearing impairment at all.

10
  • With a functional loss, normal hearing is
    present, but a loss is perceived or created. The
    seemingly apparent hearing impairment is not due
    to any physical damage or defect, but rather to a
    psychological, social, or emotional problem or
    disorder.

11
  • Testing is available to decide if functional
    hearing loss is present. Central hearing loss is
    also not a standard hearing loss, but it is due
    to dysfunction in the central processing areas.
    While the peripheral hearing system is
    functioning normally, processing of sound is
    damaged at the level of the brain. Symptoms of
    central loss may be like sensor neural loss.
