Conductive Hearing Loss
This type of hearing loss occurs when the inner ear doesn't properly receive sound signals. Conductive hearing loss generally involves a decreased ability to hear faint sounds and can be caused by injury to the middle ear or the ear canal. Often the best way to treat this loss is medically or can even be surgically corrected. Hearing aids can help, if these are not options for you.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
This type of hearing loss involves deterioration of the inner ear (cochlea) or the never pathway. Tiny hairs inside the cochlea which carry sound, can become damaged. This type of loss is most commonly due to prolonged exposure to high volumes levels, sudden ear trauma, infection, or the normal aging process.
