This means that sounds may be appear distorted, even with the use of a hearing aid. Sensorineural losses can range from mild to profound.
About Conductive Hearing Loss A conductive hearing loss happens when sounds cannot get through the outer and middle ear. It may be hard to hear soft sounds. Louder sounds may be muffled. Medicine or surgery can often fix this type of hearing loss.
Genetics, noise exposure, and more can also cause sensorineural hearing loss. Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SNHL) is the most common form of permanent hearing loss. SNHL results from damage to the hair cells in the inner ear or to the nerve pathways between the inner ear and the brain.
