Hearing loss is sometimes sudden, but more often it happens gradually and you may not notice it at first.

What is Hearing Loss?
Hearing loss is common and can affect people of all ages. Children are also commonly affected, although in this age group the cause is usually due to fluid build up or infection in the middle ear, congenital problems or childhood viral illness.

Types of deafness

Conductive Hearing Loss:

A conductive hearing loss can occur due to:

• Wax blocking the ear canal
• Infection
• Collection of fluid
• Trauma or fixation of the ossicles in the middle ear. 
• Fortunately they can usually be treated.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

A sensorineural hearing loss is due to a problem of the inner ear or of the nerve that carries the signal to the brain. 

• Old age (presbyacusis), 
• Virus infections, 
• Trauma 
• Drugs
• Noise Exposure 
• Congenital causes. 
• Some inner ear problems are reversible, but usually loss is permanent. 

Now a days Hearing aids and instruments are continuing to improve and help to amplify the sounds that are heard by the inner ear and so partially overcome the hearing loss.
