What is Hearing Loss?

Illustration for this Hazelwood Hearcare guide

Hearing loss refers to a partial or total inability to hear sounds in one or both ears. It can develop gradually with age, occur suddenly, or result from injury, illness, or prolonged exposure to loud noise.

Common Causes of Hearing Loss:

  • Age-related hearing loss (presbycusis)
  • Noise-induced hearing loss
  • Ear infections or blockages (such as earwax buildup)
  • Ototoxic medications
  • Genetic conditions
  • Sudden Sensorineural Hearing Loss (SSHL)

Types of Hearing Loss

  • Conductive Hearing Loss: Caused by blockages or damage in the outer or middle ear.
  • Sensorineural Hearing Loss: Results from damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve.
  • Mixed Hearing Loss: A combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.

Hearing Loss Symptoms

Recognising hearing loss early is crucial. Common symptoms include:

  • Difficulty following conversations
  • Frequently asking others to repeat themselves
  • Turning up the volume on devices
  • Trouble hearing in noisy environments
  • Tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

If you experience any of these signs, contact Hazelwood Hearcare to book a hearing assessment at your nearest location.
