About Hearing Loss in Bengaluru
Hearing loss is a partial or complete inability to hear sounds in one or both ears, ranging from mild difficulty understanding speech in noisy environments to profound deafness. It is broadly classified into conductive hearing loss, caused by problems in the outer or middle ear that block sound transmission, and sensorineural hearing loss, caused by damage to the inner ear or the auditory nerve pathways to the brain. It can be present from birth, develop gradually with age or noise exposure, or occur suddenly due to infection, trauma, or vascular events. Hearing loss can significantly affect communication, social engagement, and in children, speech and language development if not addressed promptly.
