Others accuse you of speaking too loudly.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\nWhat are the first signs of tinnitus?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Tinnitus is the sensation of hearing sounds that are not there, often described as a ringing, buzzing, whooshing, clicking or roaring. The sounds can be sporadic or constant, vary in pitch and be in one or both ears. These phantom noises are the symptom of an underlying medical condition rather than a disease itself.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Is hearing loss permanent?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
Hearing loss is caused by damage to the inner, middle or outer ear.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Conductive hearing loss occurs when there are problems in the outer ear, ear canal, eardrum or middle ear. This type of hearing loss can often be corrected through surgery or medications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sensorineural hearing loss, often referred to as nerve deadness, occurs when there is a problem with the inner ear. This is the most common type of hearing loss and is typically permanent. Hearing aids are the preferred treatment method for this type of hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
What do I do with my online hearing test results?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n
An online hearing test can indicate if you may have hearing loss through a series of self-reported questions. The results should be used to prompt you to visit an audiology office, where a complete hearing exam will be performed. These tests are used to determine your type of hearing loss and measure your exact degree of damage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Your results are then used by your audiologist to create an individualized treatment plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
