Deafness may be classified into two types.
1. Nerve deafness that is caused by impairment of the cochlea or auditory nerve.
2. Conduction deafness may be caused by impairment of the middle ear components that are involved with transmitting sound into the cochlea.
In some cases there may be a number of effective treatments that can be administered to help restore proper hearing. The first step is to consult with a qualified hearing professional for proper assessment and treatment of hearing loss.
