When hearing loss is made by a disease or a damage in the middle or outer ear, the causes are made by birth defects, bone damage in the middle ear, fluid in the middle ear, ear infections and the excessive use of ear wax.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss:
this cause happens when the inner ear nerves "fail to develop properly" (deaf websites). this hearing loss also can occur by an inner ear nerve damage, this type of hearing loss rather than conductive hearing loss is permanent. Cochlear implants are the only surgery that might have some level of hearing potential in the individual.
Mixed Hearing Loss: its the combination between conductive hearing and sensorial, when conductive hearing is the primary reason, sounds might be distinguished. when the main reason is because of the inner ear the result will be the loss of volume and clarity.
Sudden Hearing Loss: might be because of an infection or obstruction in the outer ear chamber. This type oh hearing loss can be treated by an accurate diagnosis but its often permanent.
- “Though approximately half of all congenital hearing loss is connected to, genetic factors, for some, hearing loss causes are not clearly determined. When there is a genetic factor, most deaf children are born to hearing parents because the gene responsible for hearing defects is recessive. Other than genetics, some children are born with hearing loss due to infections during pregnancy or as complications from other syndromes that include deafness such as Usher’s or Down’s . Hearing loss that is present at birth is congenital hearing loss. When loss of hearing occurs after birth, it is acquired hearing loss. Regardless of when it occurs, there are three main types of hearing loss" (deaf websites).
