Hearing loss is a widespread condition that has had plenty of research, tests and technology developed to help those suffering from minor to profound hearing loss. In general there are two types of hearing loss that you could be experiencing, Sensorineural or Conductive.
Sensorineural
This is the most common type of hearing loss that occurs when there is a problem with the inner ear (cochlear) or auditory nerve. This type of hearing loss can happen for a number of reasons including age, exposure to extensive noise, infection or injury. This is generally a permanent form of hearing loss, but can be treated with the help of a hearing aid.
