Hearing loss is the partial or total inability to hear. It’s a common problem that can affect anyone. Also referred to as hearing impairment or deafness, hearing loss covers a wide range of categories and symptoms which can be caused by a variety of factors and circumstances.
Age-related hearing loss is the most common disease in later life years. An early diagnosis offers very good chances to prevent further restrictions with ear protection and other measures and to possibly preserve hearing.
The two most common types of hearing loss are volume loss and intelligibility loss. When hearing is lost, high tones are no longer detected by the ear. Volume loss affects spatial perception.
Implants, surgery and removal of blockages through an operation are a few common treatment methods for hearing loss. A hearing aid is an assitive device that can help combat hearing loss and provide life-long relief.
