What is Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss is a partial or total inability to hear sounds in one or both ears. It can affect people of all ages, but is especially common among older adults. Hearing loss may occur gradually or suddenly and can be caused by factors such as aging, exposure to loud noises, ear infections, genetic conditions, or wax buildup.
Facts About Hearing Loss
There is a lot of misinformation about hearing loss. Here are the facts that you need to know.
- Hearing loss is the 3rd most prevalent health problem among adults.
- About 1 in 5 adults experience hearing loss.
- Generally, people with hearing loss wait for 7-10 years before seeking treatment.
- 80% of people aged 55-74 years who could benefit from hearing aids do not use them. Noise is often the cause.

Questions to Ask Our Hearing Specialists
What Type of Hearing Loss Do I Have?
A hearing test is crucial to help you find the type of hearing loss you are experiencing and the services you require.
The three types of hearing loss are:
- Sensorineural hearing loss – This happens when the inner ear becomes damaged, and the nerves cannot transmit sound to the brain.
- Conductive hearing loss – It occurs in either the middle or outer ear when sound waves are not transmitted to the inner ear. This is often due to physical reasons such as blockages or damage.
- Mixed hearing loss – This is a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss.
Is My Hearing Loss the Same in Both Ears?
You can have unilateral (single-sided) or bilateral (double-sided) hearing loss. Just like some people can be near-sighted or long-sighted in one eye, hearing loss may vary from one ear to another.
Do I Need a Hearing Aid for Both Ears?
Not necessarily. If you have hearing loss in only one ear, you may not need to wear an aid in both. However, it enhances the quality of sound and interpretation of sound direction if you do.
Which Hearing Aids Are Best for Me and My Lifestyle?
Your hearing specialist will help determine the best hearing aid for your lifestyle. Share with them all the information about your working environment, hobbies, routines, and social activities to help determine hearing aids that suit your lifestyle.
