A 63-year-old man has become progressively hard of hearing He's a retired airplane mechanic What kind of hearing loss is the man likely to have?

Could be conductive hearing loss due to the buildup of wax but more likely sensorineural due to...a.) Occupational exposure to large volume levels working in an aviation environment.b.) Physiological loss of hearing due to aging.It is quite possible he is suffering from industrial deafness also known as occupational noise induced hearing loss. Such hearing damage can come from exposure to constant loud noise or short bursts of extremely loud noise. So long as this exposure takes place in the workplace - it is possible that this individual will have an industrial deafness claim. See the related link entitled "industrial deafness claim" to see how you can claim compensation for industrial deafness in the UK.SensorineuralMy first response would be to ask several questions: did he use hearing protection during his working years, is anyone in his family hearing impaired, did he have any recreational noise exposure and when did he start noticing the changes in his hearing. If the loss is strictly due to noise exposure, then it would be classified as a sensorineural hearing loss. If the loss is due to otosclerosis (and can only be diagnosed by a complete audiometric evaluation and examination by otologist) then it would be classified as conductive. A loss due to ear infection would be classified as conductive also. If he just has wax in his ears, that would be a conductive loss. Only a full evaluation will offer the correct answer.63 year old man has progressively hard o hearing. he is a retired mechanic. what kind of hearing loss is this man likely to have

If someone has mild hearing loss and does not use a hearing aid will this accelerate further hearing loss?

AnswerA hearing aid will not accelerate your hearing loss or improve the underlying condition.
