Understanding Hearing Loss

Hearing loss usually develops slowly over time. Most people do not realize how much they are missing until the symptoms begin to significantly impact conversations, work, or family life.

Common signs of hearing loss:

  • Difficulty hearing clearly in conversations

  • Turning the TV or phone volume higher

  • Trouble understanding speech in restaurants or groups

  • Feeling like people are mumbling

  • Ringing or buzzing in the ears

  • Needing repetition often

  • Feeling tired after conversations

If these symptoms feel familiar, a professional evaluation can help you understand exactly what is happening.

Types of Hearing Loss

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

Sensorineural hearing loss is caused by damage or changes to the nerve structures of the inner ear. This is the most common type of loss seen in adults. The most common causes of this loss are aging and noise exposure. It is typically treated with hearing aids.


01
Conductive Hearing Loss

Conductive hearing loss is caused by a problem in the outer or middle ear. Problems could include a structural abnormality, excessive wax buildup, middle ear fluid, or infections. Some cases can be medically treated.


02
Mixed Hearing Loss

Mixed hearing loss is when someone presents with both sensorineural hearing loss and conductive loss at the same time.

Dr. Tripp can test your hearing to determine what type of hearing loss you have and make appropriate recommendations to get you hearing better.
