Hearing Loss Risk Assessment
Today's urban life is far more noisier than the rural with the possibility of people suffering from sensorineural hearing loss increasing drastically. The loud and continuous sounds of construction activity, traffic on the streets, industrial machinery, and even entertainment equipments, are reducing the hearing capacity of a large number of people. This assessment estimates the intensity of your hearing loss. According to experts, 50 percent of the cases of hearing loss can be prevented by early intervention.
Result
It is very important to find out whether your hearing loss is caused due to a conduction problem or as a result of sensorineural deficit. While the former can be rectified medically or surgically, the latter cannot be treated effectively using either of these options. The use of hearing aids can only amplify the sounds to some extent, but the patient may not be able to distinguish between different sounds.
