In rare instances, hearing loss can result from some damage to auditory sensors in the brain.

Why do you always get a low frequency hearing loss250 500 1000HZ with otitis media and not a sensorineural given the higher frequency sounds are in the first part of the cochlea?
Because in otitis media the fluid in middle ear impede the sound tramsmission so cause low frequency conductive type hearing loss but if some inflammatory substance pass the oval window in this case sensorineural type hearing loss can occur.This type hearing loss mostly affect highfrequency region.
Is hearing and seeing loss genetic?

How can you correct hearing loss?
Unfortunately, in most cases hearing loss does not improve. However, some types of hearing loss can be caused by problems which may be treated medically, such as ear infections or a perforated ear-drum. These types of loss can often improve. If the loss is a nerve loss, as is most hearing loss, it is not likely to get better. Depends on the cause of hearing loss. If the loss is conductive - ie. caused by a problem with the ear canal, ear drum, bones behind the ear or middle ear cavity, there is a good chance that it could be treated surgically. If the hearing loss is due to changes in the nerves (sensorineural hearing loss) then there is no surgical, medical or alternative treatment that will improve the hearing. An audiologist will be able to tell you if your results indicate that you have a conductive, sensorineural or mixed (both types) loss.
What is residual hearing?
This is the term used to describe the hearing that remains after a hearing loss occurs. Most people with significant hearing loss still have some residual hearing that can be stimulated by amplifying sound using a hearing aid. . www.medel.com.ar/ENG/US/50_Resources/010_glossary.asp

Hearing impairment is any loss of hearing for a variety of reasons. It refers to a condition that causes someone not to hear as well as someone with normal hearing.

If you ask others to repeat, find yourself turning up the tv, missing out on the punchline of a joke, missing out on important meeting facts, you might be experiencing some degree of hearing impairment.
