What is the scientific name for deafness?
The scientific term for deafness is "hearing loss" or "hearing impairment." It can be categorized based on the severity and type, such as conductive hearing loss, sensorineural hearing loss, or mixed hearing loss.
Are hearing loss and hearing impairment the same thing?
No. Hearing loss depends on the decibel listened to and the period of time. Everyone is prone to having hearing loss.
Can Syphillis cause hearing loss?
No, chlamydia does not cause hearing loss.
How rare is low-frequency hearing loss compared to other types of hearing loss?
Low-frequency hearing loss is less common compared to other types of hearing loss. It affects a smaller percentage of the population, with high-frequency hearing loss being more prevalent.

When was Action on Hearing Loss created?

What is covered by the term hearing disorders?
Hearing disorders range from a temporary, partial loss of hearing to the permanent loss of hearing known as deafness.
What is peripheral hearing loss?
Peripheral Hearing loss has to do with hearing loss in the peripheral auditory mechanism...that is, in the External Ear, Middle Ear, Cochlea, and VIIIth nerve.
What percent of hearing loss can be treated by hearing aids?
Hearing aids can effectively treat about 90% of hearing loss cases, particularly those related to age-related hearing loss and conductive hearing loss. They amplify sounds, making it easier for individuals to hear and communicate. However, they are not suitable for all types of hearing loss, such as profound or certain types of neural damage. It's essential for individuals to consult with an audiologist to determine the most appropriate treatment for their specific hearing loss condition.
How are sensory and neural hearing loss treated by doctors?
Sensory and neural hearing loss, on the other hand, cannot readily be cured. Fortunately such hearing loss is rarely complete, and hearing aids can fill the deficit.
Are open ear hearing aids good for severe loss of hearing?
Typically, the behind the ear models are better for severe hearing loss. Speaker-in-the-Ear (SIE) hearing aids allow people with severe hearing loss to use open fit hearing aids.
