The 3 Types of Hearing Loss

Conductive, sensorineural & mixed — explained simply

Understanding Hearing Loss

Hearing loss affects millions of Indians, and understanding its types can lead to better management. The three main types are conductive, sensorineural, and mixed hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss is often due to obstructions like wax buildup or damage to the middle ear and can sometimes be treated with medical or surgical interventions. Sensorineural loss is common and caused by damage to the inner ear or nerve pathways, often requiring hearing aids or cochlear implants.

Mixed hearing loss combines elements of both types, requiring a comprehensive approach to treatment. Brands like Signia, Phonak, and Widex offer advanced hearing aids suitable for various types of hearing loss, with prices starting around Rs 20,000. Many providers offer free home visits and trials to ensure the best fit and convenience.

  • Early detection and treatment improve outcomes significantly.
  • Hearing aids can be life-changing, enhancing communication and confidence.
  • Regular check-ups with an audiologist ensure optimal device performance.
