Hearing Aid Information

The form of treatment for sensorineural hearing loss is hearing aids. They help you hear better by amplifying sound in the range of the inner hair cell damage. Hearing aids have greatly improved in the past few years and are capable of reducing background noise, letting you hear better on the telephone, and rendering little to no feedback (whistling). They are digitally programmable and are customized for your particular hearing loss and ear shape. At Prescription Design Hearing Aid & Audiology Center, we offer the latest technology in digital hearing aids at the most affordable prices.

It is important to remember that hearing aids do NOT act as ear protection.

Types of Hearing Loss

SENSORINEURAL

Tinnitus (ringing)
Vertigo (dizziness)
Fullness in the ear
Sudden loss of hearing

The majority of hearing loss is a sensorineural type, which is hair damage in the inner ear. This type of loss is permanent and can be caused by noise exposure, medical problems, head injuries, certain medications, or family history of sensorineural hearing loss.

It is important to remember that sensorineural hearing loss from loud noise exposure leads to permanent hearing loss, but it is preventable in most case. Hearing aids can treat this effectively.

CONDUCTIVE

Certain types of hearing loss are correctable with surgery and/or medications, and this type is usually referred to as conductive hearing loss. The cause of conductive hearing loss can be from:

Fluid behind the eardrum
An ear infection
Eustachian tube dysfunction
Hear injuries
Hardening of the middle ear bones called “otosclerosis”

It is important to rule out conductive and retrocochlear hearing losses before purchasing hearing aids, which is done with a comprehensive, diagnostic audiometric evaluation. If you have a sudden loss of hearing, immediately seek medical treatment with your physician. Causes of sudden hearing loss can be from ear wax impaction, or more serious inner ear diseases / inner ear viral infections which are often treated with steroid medications.

MIXED

Tinnitus (ringing)
Vertigo (dizziness)
Fullness in the ear
Sudden loss of hearing

A combination of the SENSORINEURAL and CONDUCTIVE. Mixed hearing loss can be treated with hearing aids and/or medicine intervention.
