HEARING LOSS
Hearing Loss - Sensorineural, Conductive and Mixed
At Pinnaclear, we have experience treating all types of hearing loss, including sensorineural, conductive, and mixed hearing loss. We've found that patients truly appreciate understanding the nature of their hearing loss.
Sometimes people assume hearing loss occurs in the same part of the ear for everyone but hearing loss can occur in any number of places along the auditory pathway. Whether it's an issue with the outer, middle, or inner ear, identifying the specific type of hearing loss can help determine the best course of treatment.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
The cochlea part of the inner ear consists of tiny little hair cells that respond to the sound around us. Over time and with age the number of hair cells in our ears reduces or stop functioning, resulting in a loss.
​
It is usually the high frequencies that are affected first and that is why the older you get the more you might struggle to hear birds singing or when someone is at the door. Age related hearing loss is known as presbycusis and hearing aids can help you to regain clarity at the frequencies that you can no longer hear.

Very professional service, I had a lot of ear wax and also a funny sensation in one ear which Hafiza took the time to explain and show me what was going on. Professionally cleaned, my ears and I are very happy 🙂
