Hearing problems can encompass various conditions that affect a person's ability to perceive sounds. These conditions can range from mild to severe and might affect one or both ears. Some common hearing problems include:
This type of hearing loss occurs when there are issues in the outer or middle ear that hinder sound conduction to the inner ear. Causes can include earwax buildup, ear infections, fluid in the middle ear, or problems with the eardrum or middle ear bones.
This type of hearing loss involves damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve, leading to difficulty in transmitting sound signals to the brain. Causes can include aging, exposure to loud noises, genetics, certain medications, or diseases.
Sometimes, a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss can occur, affecting both the outer/middle ear and the inner ear or auditory nerve.
This is a condition characterized by the perception of ringing, buzzing, hissing, or other noises in the ears without any external sound source. It can occur alongside hearing loss or on its own.
These are conditions where the brain has difficulty processing auditory information, even when hearing ability is normal. People with APD might struggle to understand speech, especially in noisy environments.
