Abstract
Hearing loss may be caused by either a conductive problem, such that the sound waves do not reach the tympanic membrane, ossicles or inner ear, or a sensorineural problem, in which the cochlea and/or auditory nerve are somehow damaged. A combination of the above may also occur. The various causes of hearing loss and the options in treatment will be presented.
