The document discusses the three main types of hearing loss: sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, and mixed hearing loss. Sensorineural hearing loss is damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve and is the most common, affecting around 90% of people with hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss occurs when sound is not adequately transmitted from the outer to inner ear, often due to blockages. Mixed hearing loss is a combination of both sensorineural and conductive losses. Seeing an audiologist can determine the type of hearing loss and best treatment options.
