Sensorineural hearing loss is the most prevalent type, typically resulting from aging or exposure to loud noises.

The primary treatment for sensorineural hearing loss is hearing aids. With various types available, we at Hearing Expert will assist you in finding the ones that best match your specific hearing needs, preferences, and lifestyle.

Conductive hearing loss is less common than sensorineural loss and is caused by obstructions or damage to the middle or outer ear, preventing sound from being properly processed.

This type of hearing loss can be temporary if the obstruction is removable. In cases of earwax buildup, ear infections, or foreign objects, medical treatments such as removal of the obstruction or antibiotics may resolve the issue.

For more complex cases, such as ear drum injuries or tumors in the middle ear, treatment typically involves hearing aids or bone-anchored hearing systems, which are surgically implanted devices that transmit sound through bone conduction.

Tinnitus is often described as a buzzing or ringing in the ears, though it can manifest as other sounds as well. These sounds are not from external sources. About 80% of people with tinnitus also experience some level of hearing loss.

While there is no cure for tinnitus, its impact can be managed. Since most people with tinnitus also have hearing loss, hearing aids are frequently recommended. Hearing aids can help in two ways: they amplify external sounds, making tinnitus less noticeable, and they can include sound therapy programs to provide soothing sounds directly through the hearing aids.
