    GlossaryHearing Loss (Hearing Impairment)

    partial or total inability to hear sounds in one or both ears

    Hearing loss, also known as hearing impairment or deafness, refers to a partial or total inability to hear sounds in one or both ears. It can result from a variety of factors, including aging, exposure to loud noise, infections, genetic conditions, and certain medications. Hearing loss can be classified into different types, such as conductive, sensorineural, or mixed, depending on which part of the auditory system is affected. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for effective management and can include hearing aids, cochlear implants, or other assistive devices.
