Hearing loss affects millions of people in the United States. Hearing loss can be the result of many factors. These factors can include damage to the inner ear or the structures within the ear were you could need to wear digital hearing aids to hear. Other factors that can cause hearing loss is aging, diseases, infections, head injury or long term exposure to noise. Conductive hearing loss can occur from disease, objects in the ear, or otosclerosis and can usually be corrected. Sensorineural hearing loss happens when there is damage to the hair cells or nerve fibers in the ear.
