Understand your hearing loss
before you choose a hearing aid

The basics
Hearing loss isn't one condition — it's three
Hearing loss refers to the decreased ability to hear sounds, affecting communication, social interaction and daily life. It falls into three categories — conductive, sensorineural and mixed — each with its own causes, symptoms and treatment path. Knowing which one you're dealing with is the first step to real relief.
Conductive
Conductive Hearing Loss
Sound gets blocked before it ever reaches the inner ear — usually from an outer or middle ear problem such as infection, fluid build-up, allergies, excess earwax or a perforated eardrum.
- Muffled or reduced sound clarity
- A feeling of fullness or pressure in the ear
- Often treatable with prompt medical care
Sensorineural
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
Damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve itself, most often linked to aging, prolonged noise exposure, genetics, illness or certain medications.
- Difficulty with soft or high-pitched sounds
- Trouble following speech in background noise
- Usually managed with digital hearing aids
Mixed
Mixed Hearing Loss
A combination of both — an outer/middle ear issue layered on top of inner ear or nerve damage. Often linked to a history of ear infections, noise exposure or aging.
- Symptoms of both conductive and sensorineural loss
- Needs a combined treatment approach
- Best diagnosed with a full hearing assessment
Common causes
What usually leads to hearing loss
Aging
Natural decline in hearing ability as the inner ear structures wear over time.
Loud noise exposure
Repeated exposure damages the delicate hair cells inside the inner ear.
Genetics
Some forms of hearing loss run in families and are present from birth.
Illness or injury
Ear infections, head injuries or tumours can all affect hearing ability.
Ototoxic medication
Certain medicines can damage the inner ear as a side effect.
Earwax build-up
Excess wax physically blocks sound waves from reaching the inner ear.
