Did you know there are different types of hearing loss? Let's break them down quickly. Hearing loss can be classified into 3 main types: conductive, sensorineural, and mixed. Conductive hearing loss happens when sound is blocked from reaching the inner ear, so the outer or middle ear parts. Often this will be due to things like ear infections, fluid buildup, or earwax, sometimes allergies. Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner ear, or the auditory or hearing nerve. It's often related to aging, noise exposure, medications, those kind of things. Mixed hearing loss is a combination of both, meaning there's damage to the outer or middle ear and the inner ear or nerve. Each type of hearing loss has its own treatment.
