ssssssTypes of Deafness and Causesssssss
There are two main types of deafness; conductive deafness and perceptive deafness.
Conductive deafness is when the sound waves are prevented from reaching the inner ear. It can be because of wax in the outer canal, fluid inside it, or the tiny bones in the ear have seized up. With perceptive deafness, sound waves can reach the inner ear, though it is a disease of the nerves leading to the brain or a condition affecting the function of the inner ear. Most cases of deafness fall into the category of conductive and perceptive deafness, though other cases of deafness are as simple as the result of old age.
Old age hearing loss is from the increasing feeling of isolation and loneliness. You can become deaf from constantly being around loud noises (tinnitus) or from premature birth.
Other causes of hearing loss and hearing problems are from inflammation of the outer ear (otitis externa), middle ear inflammation (otitis media), and inflammation of the spinal cord (meningitis).
