When you have this type of hearing loss, sound is being stopped from entering the inner ear due to obstructions such as fluid, earwax, or tumors in the outer or middle ear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This type of hearing loss can in many cases be treated with medication (such as antibiotics) or surgery.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ol start=\"2\">\n<li>\n<h3><span id=\"Sensorineural\"><b><i> Sensorineural<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This is the <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.starkey.com\/hearing-loss\/types-and-causes\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">most common<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> type of hearing loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sensorineural hearing loss concerns the inner ear and occurs when the inner ear nerves and hair cells are damaged. The pathways from your inner ear to your brain are impacted.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Common causes include the natural aging process, noise damage, or often a combination of the two.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It generally can\u2019t be cured or corrected medically or surgically. However, there are effective ways to overcome symptoms, including getting a well-fitted hearing aid.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ol start=\"3\">\n<li>\n<h3><span id=\"Mixed\"><b><i> Mixed<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Mixed hearing loss includes both a conductive and a sensorineural hearing loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you have this type of hearing loss, there is an issue in the outer or middle ear and the inner ear or auditory nerve. This might occur after a head injury, due to a long-term infection, or because of a disorder that runs in your family.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ol start=\"4\">\n<li>\n<h3><span id=\"Auditory_Neuropathy_Spectrum_Disorder\"><b><i> Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This lesser-known type of hearing loss occurs when sound enters the inner ear (the cochlea) without issue, but as the inner ear or the hearing nerve is damaged, sounds aren&#8217;t organized in a way that the brain can understand.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum disorder can affect people of <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nidcd.nih.gov\/health\/auditory-neuropathy\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">all ages, from infancy to adulthood<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have your hearing sensitivity tested and have auditory neuropathy, you may have normal hearing or hearing loss ranging from mild to severe and will likely have poor speech-perception abilities. People with this type of hearing loss generally struggle to recognize speech more than a specialist would expect having seen their audiogram. A diagnosis of auditory neuropathy helps to make sense of why this is the case.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Degrees_of_Hearing_Loss\">Degrees of Hearing Loss\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss can also come in different degrees of severity. If you go to an audiologist for a hearing test, you could be told that your hearing loss lies anywhere on a spectrum between mild and profound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Mild\"><b><i>Mild<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have mild hearing loss, soft sounds will be hard to hear but you will generally hear most speech sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you can only hear sounds that are between 26 &#8211; 40 decibels (dB) you have mild hearing loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Moderate\"><b><i>Moderate<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have moderate hearing loss you\u2019ll struggle to hear any speech if you\u2019re having a conversation with someone at a normal level.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you can only hear sounds that are between 41 &#8211; 55 dB you have moderate hearing loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Severe\"><b><i>Severe<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have severe hearing loss, you will hear no speech when someone is speaking at a normal level, only some loud sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you can only hear sounds that are between 56 &#8211; 70 dB, you have moderately severe hearing loss and between 71 &#8211; 90 dB, you have severe hearing loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h3><span id=\"Profound\"><b><i>Profound\u00a0<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/h3>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have profound hearing loss, you will certainly not be able to hear any speech and only quite loud sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you can only hear sound 91+ dB you have profound hearing loss.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your degree of hearing loss can determine how much the condition impacts your life and what treatment options will be the best for you. If you get a hearing loss diagnosis, ask your doctor about hearing loss severity and what this means for you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"High-Frequency_Hearing_Loss_and_Low-Frequency_Hearing_Loss\">High-Frequency Hearing Loss and Low-Frequency Hearing Loss<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another way to categorize hearing loss is by the certain frequencies you have trouble hearing. Depending on your hearing range, you can be categorized to have either <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveunion.com\/blogs\/the-olive-branch\/what-is-high-frequency-hearing-loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">high-frequency hearing loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or low-frequency hearing loss.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"High-Frequency_Hearing_loss\">High-Frequency Hearing loss\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">High-frequency hearing loss is a very common type of hearing loss. If you have it, you\u2019ll find high-pitched sounds or frequencies between 2,000 and 8,000 Hz harder to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Speech may sound muffled and you might find it hard to hear consonants spoken at a higher pitch (such as \u2018s,\u2019 \u2018h\u2019 or \u2018f\u2019). The high-pitched voices of women and children can also be hard to make out. You might feel like you can hear people, but not really understand what they are saying.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">People of any age can have it but it often affects <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthyhearing.com\/report\/52448-Understanding-high-frequency-hearing-loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">older people who have age-related hearing loss and have been exposed to long-term loud noise<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Low-Frequency_Hearing_Loss\">Low-Frequency Hearing Loss<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you have low-frequency hearing loss, you can\u2019t hear deeper, low pitched sounds that occur in the lower end of the frequencies (2,000 Hz or lower).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sometimes people don\u2019t realize that they have low-frequency hearing loss for a while, as its relatively rare, and they can understand normal speech and take part in conversations (which usually signals healthy hearing).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, talking in groups and noisy environments with background noise can alert you to your issues with low-frequency hearing loss if you struggle to hear in these scenarios.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Age, noise, genetic mutations, low cerebrospinal fluid pressure, Ramsay Hunt syndrome, diseases (such as Meniere&#8217;s disease), and viral infections can be <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.verywellhealth.com\/low-frequency-hearing-loss-1048828\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">causes of low-frequency hearing loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. However, it is generally a <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveunion.com\/blogs\/the-olive-branch\/what-is-sensorineural-hearing-loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">sensorineural hearing loss<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> which is when hair cells in the inner ear are damaged, as previously discussed.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A comprehensive hearing test will be able to identify your low-frequency hearing loss. A hearing aid might be able to improve your ability to hear, as they can help amplify lower sounds (without over-amplifying higher-pitched sounds). It can take some time to find the best amplification for you and you might have to deal with recruitment (when some loud sounds are painful).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<h2><span id=\"Other_Hearing_Loss_Characteristics_and_Terms\">Other Hearing Loss Characteristics and Terms<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hearing loss can have different characteristics; here are some terms to describe them.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<b>Congenital or Acquired\/Delayed Onset:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Hearing loss can be present at birth (congenital) or show sometime later in life (acquired or delayed onset).<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<b>Unilateral or Bilateral<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Hearing loss is in <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oliveunion.com\/blogs\/the-olive-branch\/what-is-one-ear-hearing-loss\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">one ear (unilateral)<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> or both ears (bilateral).<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<b>Pre-lingual or Post-lingual:<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Concerning when the hearing loss occurred &#8211; before learning speech (pre-lingual) or after post-lingual).<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<b>Symmetrical or Asymmetrical: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Concerning the extent of your hearing loss &#8211; the same in both ears (symmetrical) or different in each ear (asymmetrical).\u00a0<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<b>Progressive or Sudden<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Hearing loss worsens over time (progressive) or occurs quickly (sudden).<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\n<b>Fluctuating or Stable<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: Hearing loss can get better or worse over time (fluctuating) or can stay the same (stable).<\/span>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">As you can see, there are many different types of hearing loss, and each person\u2019s symptoms are unique.
