Conductive Hearing Loss: Hearing loss is not a one-size-fits-all condition. It comes in various types, each with its unique characteristics and causes. Understanding the type of hearing loss you or a loved one is experiencing is crucial for seeking the right treatment and support.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss: This is the most common type of hearing loss and usually results from damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. It can be caused by aging, noise exposure, genetics, or certain medications.

Mixed Hearing Loss: As the name suggests, mixed hearing loss is a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. It often indicates issues in both the outer/middle ear and inner ear.

Auditory Neuropathy Spectrum Disorder (ANSD): ANSD is a rare condition where sound signals are received by the inner ear but are not effectively transmitted to the brain due to problems with the auditory nerve.

Sudden Hearing Loss: This type is characterized by a rapid loss of hearing and requires immediate medical attention. The cause is often unclear, but prompt treatment can improve outcomes.
