  • Hearing Loss

    by Dr. Karen Leggett
    Hearing loss has many possible causes. If there is interference in the ear itself, the hearing loss is conductive deafness. The other major cause for hearing loss, neural hearing deafness (nerve deafness), is interference with the transmission from the ear to the brain. Both types of hearing loss occur with increased frequency in elderly patients.
