Hearing Loss: Hearing reduction does not discriminate

Hearing difficulties can appear in any person regardless of age or gender. It is estimated internationally that more than 10% of the population has some form of hearing loss, with millions of school-age children experiencing hearing loss capable of affecting their speech and educational development.

Hearing reduction can be temporary or permanent, mild or severe. Fortunately, in most cases, there are many solutions for improving hearing ability. For many, acquiring a hearing aid is the first step toward restoring hearing, social reintegration and improving quality of life!

What is Hearing Loss

Types of Hearing Loss

Caused by damage to the outer or middle ear. Sound waves are blocked as they travel through the outer or middle ear. Since sound cannot be transmitted effectively, the sound energy reaching the inner ear is weak or absent.

Conductive hearing loss can be caused by infection, significant cerumen buildup in the ear canal, fluid in the middle ear, damage to the middle ear ossicles, perforation of the tympanic membrane or a foreign body in the ear canal.

The most common form of hearing loss. Caused by damage to the delicate hair cells in the cochlea or the auditory nerve.

A combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss that affects both the middle and inner ear.

Related to damage or deficiency in the central nervous system affecting the processing of auditory information.
