The Effects of Hearing Loss

Untreated hearing loss is hard on the people around you as well as on you. Conversations get shorter. Family events stop being worth the effort, and so do some of the things you used to enjoy. Improving your hearing starts with a hearing test at Audiology Associates of Westchester, which tells us what kind of loss you have and what will actually help.

Types of Hearing Loss

Different types of hearing loss call for different solutions, and the first job of a hearing test is to tell them apart. Conductive Hearing Loss: sound is blocked on its way through the outer or middle ear, often by earwax, middle-ear fluid, or infection, and it is frequently treatable and sometimes fully reversible. Sensorineural Hearing Loss: the hair cells of the inner ear or the hearing nerve are damaged, which is the most common permanent type, and well-fit hearing aids are the usual answer. Mixed Hearing Loss: a conductive problem sitting on top of a sensorineural one, so the plan usually has two parts, one medical and one technological. Sudden Hearing Loss: a rapid drop in hearing, usually in one ear, is a medical urgency and should be seen promptly rather than waited out.
