Types of hearing loss


Different types of hearing loss

Knowing the type of hearing loss is necessary in order to provide proper treatment.

Hearing loss is normally divided into two categories: conductive hearing loss vs sensorineural hearing loss, depending on where in the ear the hearing loss originates.

You can also have a mixed hearing loss which is a combination of the two.

If you suspect that you have a hearing loss or are concerned you may have a medical condition within the ear, it is important to get a hearing health check with a trained hearing care professional.
