There are three types of hearing loss: conductive hearing loss, which occurs due to problems with the ear canal or middle ear, sensorineural hearing loss, which is caused by problems in the inner ear, and mixed hearing loss, which is a combination of both. Each can be caused by malformations, infections, trauma, or genetic conditions, and Lambton Audiology Associates works to assess the cause of the hearing loss before determining the appropriate treatment. Hearing loss treatment can entail the use of a hearing aid, or even a surgical procedure if the damage can be repaired.
