Deaf & Hearing Awareness Training How We Hear

Deaf & Hearing Awareness Training Conductive Hearing Loss This is when sound cannot be conducted (pass through) the outer and middle ear. The causes include: collection of fluid in the middle ear ('glue ear' in children) damage to the eardrum by infection or trauma blockage of the outer ear (by wax) middle ear infections

Deaf & Hearing Awareness Training Sensorineural Hearing Loss This happens when the tiny hair cells in the cochlea are damaged and so do not convert sound into electrical impulses. The causes include: age related hearing loss (a natural part of the aging process) acoustic trauma (such as a loud noise) to the hair cells viral infections of the inner ear (measles, mumps, chickenpox)
