Age-Related Hearing Loss, also known as presbycusis, is a gradual loss of hearing that occurs with aging. It typically affects both ears and involves the gradual decline in hearing sensitivity.
Asymmetric Hearing Loss
Asymmetric Hearing Loss refers to a hearing impairment that differs significantly between the ears. It can affect one ear more severely than the other, leading to challenges in auditory perception and localization.
Autoimmune Mediated Hearing Loss
Autoimmune Mediated Hearing Loss is a condition where the immune system attacks the structures of the inner ear, leading to hearing impairment. It can be sudden or progressive and may affect one or both ears.
Congenital Hearing Loss
Congenital Hearing Loss is hearing impairment present at birth or acquired shortly thereafter. It can be genetic or non-genetic in origin and may affect one or both ears.
Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD)
Central Auditory Processing Disorder (CAPD) is a condition where the brain has difficulty processing auditory information, despite normal hearing sensitivity. It affects how sound signals are interpreted and can impact speech understanding and communication.
Conductive Hearing Loss
Conductive Hearing Loss is a type of hearing impairment caused by problems in the outer or middle ear that prevent sound waves from reaching the inner ear. It can be temporary or permanent and may affect one or both ears.
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss
Noise-Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is hearing impairment caused by exposure to loud noises or sounds over an extended period or from a single intense noise event. It can affect one or both ears and is often preventable.
Sudden Hearing Loss
Sudden Hearing Loss is a rapid onset of hearing impairment, usually occurring in one ear, over a period of 72 hours or less. It requires prompt medical attention to determine the cause and initiate appropriate treatment.
Tinnitus
Tinnitus is the perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other sounds in the ears or head without an external source. It can be constant or intermittent and may vary in pitch and intensity.
