In order to fully understand what hearing loss is, it is necessary to understand the function of the hearing system. The complete hearing system is responsible for our sense of hearing. It picks up acoustic sound waves and transforms them into neural codes, which can be interpreted by the brain. The hearing system consists of three main sections:
- The outer ear
- The middle ear
- The inner ear
When there is damage to any part of the path that sound takes through the hearing system, the hearing ability may be comprised. Only certain types of hearing loss can be treated with medicine or surgery, while most others can be treated with the use of hearing aids.
Understanding hearing loss
Knowing the type of hearing loss is necessary in order to provide proper treatment. Hearing loss is normally divided into two categories: conductive hearing loss vs sensorineural hearing loss, depending on where in the ear the hearing loss originates. You can also have a mixed hearing loss which is a combination of the two. If you suspect that you have a hearing loss, or if there are physical or medical conditions of the ear that cause concern, a hearing test can be made.
