A common condition that results in hearing loss is chronic ear infections. Certain infections during pregnancy such as syphilis and rubella may also cause hearing loss. Hearing loss is diagnosed when hearing testing finds that a person is unable to hear 25 decibels in at least one ear. Testing for poor hearing is recommended for all newborns.
There are four types of hearing loss: 1  Conductive Hearing Loss. Hearing loss caused by something that stops sounds from getting through the outer or middle ear. 2  Sensorineural Hearing Loss. Hearing loss that occurs when there is a problem in the way the inner ear or hearing nerve works. 3  Mixed Hearing Loss.
