Different Types of Hearing Loss
Hearing challenges can take many different forms, from difficulty following conversations in noisy spaces to missing the softer sounds of daily life. Recognizing these challenges is the first step in finding a hearing solution that truly meets your needs.
Conductive Hearing Loss
This type involves issues with the outer and middle ear and can often be treated medically or surgically.
Sensorineural Hearing Loss
This involves the inner ear, often due to damage to the hair cells within the cochlea. This type is usually permanent but can be effectively managed with hearing aids.
Mixed Hearing Loss
A combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, affecting all parts of the ear.

Jill is fantastic, I recently had a wax build up and ear infection, she carefully diagnosed the issue and was able to remove the wax enabling me to hear again.

I can't say enough about Jill and her level of service to customers. After a recent adjustment to the charging box my remote became unpaired with the aids. Jill drove to my house to fix that problem.

I just had a great service experience with Great Lakes. A hearing aid failing on a Friday is never good but Meghan and Jill were able to make time for me.

What is Noise-Induced Hearing Loss?
Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) is a common permanent condition resulting from prolonged exposure to harmful noise levels. NIHL can occur symmetrically in both ears or asymmetrically in just one, varying based on noise exposure patterns.
Picture your ears as speakers; continuously blasting them leads to distortion, emphasizing the importance of protection and proactive care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Understanding what to expect during a hearing test can ease any uncertainty. That’s why we’ve answered the most common questions—from how long the test takes to whether it’s uncomfortable. A comprehensive hearing evaluation covers every part of your auditory system, including your middle ear, to ensure no type of hearing loss goes undetected.
What is an otoscopy?
Otoscopy is a diagnostic process that allows us to inspect the health of your outer ear and ear canal, as well as making sure there’s a clear path to your eardrum for your hearing assessment. Using an otoscope, your ears are checked for any excess earwax, debris, or anomalies, ensuring your eardrum is healthy and intact.
