Types of hearing loss
Sensorineural is the most common type of hearing loss. It is permanent and caused by many different conditions that damage tiny hair-like cells in the inner ear or the auditory nerve.
Conductive is caused by a mechanical problem in the outer or middle ear or an obstruction in the ear canal, such as earwax that blocks sound from getting to the eardrum. It can be temporary, but more often it is temporary and can be medically treated.
A person with mixed hear loss has both sensorineural and conductive hear loss.
