What is hearing loss?
Hearing loss is a partial or total reduction in the ability to hear sounds in one or both ears. This occurs when there is a disturbance in how sound travels from the ear to the brain. It is important to know that hearing loss can affect anyone at any age. Sound is measured in both loudness (Decibels) and pitch (Hertz). This means that hearing loss is measured by finding the softest sounds a person can hear at different pitches. There are around four different types of hearing loss.
