What Is Hearing Loss?
The ability to hear normally, defined by the World Health Organization as a hearing threshold of 20 dB or better in both ears, is diminished by hearing loss. Over 25% of people over the age of 60 have severe hearing loss, according to the World Health Organization.
The Mayo Clinic identifies three distinct forms of hearing impairment. Hearing loss can be classified as either conductive (involving the outer or middle ear), sensorineural (involving the inner ear), or mixed (including both types of hearing loss).
