Here are four key types of hearing loss to consider. Connect today.
Understanding the Different Types of Hearing Loss
Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound waves are obstructed in the outer or middle ear, often due to blockages such as earwax, fluid from infections, or issues with the eardrum itself. Many cases are treatable, and our audiologists in Toronto can diagnose the issue effectively at our hearing clinic. Treatment options may include medication or minor surgical procedures, allowing you to regain clearer hearing.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve, resulting in permanent hearing loss in many instances. Common causes include aging, prolonged exposure to loud noises, and certain medical conditions. If you suspect you have sensorineural hearing loss, our hearing aid centre provides comprehensive evaluations and advanced hearing aids designed to meet your specific needs. With the right technology and support, you can significantly improve your hearing capabilities and enjoy a better quality of life.
Mixed Hearing Loss
Mixed hearing loss combines both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. This type requires a personalised approach for effective management, and Munk Hearing Centre’s skilled audiologists are here to provide that expertise. A thorough hearing assessment will help determine the best treatment plan tailored for you.
Auditory Processing Disorder
Auditory processing disorder affects how your brain processes sound, even if your hearing is normal. Recognising this condition is essential for developing effective communication strategies, ensuring you can fully engage in conversations.
