Do you have mixed hearing loss?

What is mixed hearing loss?
Mixed hearing loss refers to a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss. This means there may be damage in both the outer or middle ear and the inner ear. People who suffer from mixed hearing loss describe sounds as being both softer and more difficult to understand.
Any of the causes of conductive (check out our blog on conductive hearing loss here) hearing loss plus any of the following can lead to mixed hearing loss:
- Aging
- Exposure to loud noise
- Head trauma
- Genetics
- Otosclerosis
- Ménière’s disease
