Hearing loss is the inability to hear sounds due to malfunction of some part of the ear. It can be either conductive or sensorineural . Sensorineural hearing loss occurs when there is damage to the inner ear structures or to the auditory nerve that connects these structures to the brain. Conductive hearing loss occurs when the sound waves are unable to reach the eardrum due to external or middle ear problems.
Hearing loss can be linked to a whole host of surprising health conditions including cognitive decline, dementia, brain tissue losses and depression which in turn leads to increased falls risk or early onset arthritis among others. The earlier you catch the problem the better chance there is for recovering from or adapting greatly to this condition with a simple treatment.

Symptoms for the inability to hear things either totally or partially may be mild, moderate, severe, or profound.
Some people are severely deaf and depend on lip-reading when communicating with others.People who are profoundly deaf can hear nothing at all.
In order to communicate spontaneously and rapidly with people, they are totally reliant on lip-reading and/or sign language.The difference between hearing loss and deafness Hearing loss refers to a diminished ability to hear sounds like other people do, while deafness refers to the inability to understand speech through hearing even when sound is amplified.
If a person is profoundly deaf, they can not detect sounds at any volume.There are three different types of hearing loss:1) Conductive hearing lossThis means that the vibrations are not passing through from the outer ear to the inner ear, specifically the cochlea.
It can be due to an excessive build-up of earwax, glue ear, an ear infection with inflammation and fluid buildup, a perforated eardrum, or a malfunction of the ossicles (bones in the middle ear).
Ear infections can leave scar tissue which damages the functioning of the eardrum.The ossicles may be impaired due to infection, trauma, or fusing together (ankylosis).2) Sensorineural hearing lossHearing loss is caused by dysfunction of the inner ear, the cochlea, auditory nerve, or brain damage.
