Overview
Classification is based on laterality, severity, cause, anatomy of ear, symmetry, clinical characteristics, age of onset, and associated symptoms.
Classification
Hearing losses can be classified according to:[1]
- Laterality
- Symmetry
- Clinical characteristic (syndromic or not)
- Time of onset (congenital, perinatal, or postnatal)
- Hereditary (genetic or not)
- Time of manifestation (prelingual, perilingual, or post-lingual)
- Intensity (mild, moderate, severe, and profound)
MILD | MODERATE | SEVERE | DISABLING | |
---|---|---|---|---|
HEARING LOSS | 26–40 dB HL | 41–60 dB HL | 61–80 dB HL | >80 dB HL |
DESCRIPTION | Patient hears fine | Hear with some difficulty
People Mumble |
Difficulty in hearing | Patients rely on reading lips.
The term deaf is often used by persons with profound hearing loss with >80 dB HL. |
INTERVENTION | Communication strategies | Communication strategies | Communication strategies

CHL occurs when sound is not conducted efficiently through the outer ear canal to the middle ear due to any cause. | SNHL occurs when there's damage to the internal ear or to the nerve pathways from the ear to the brain that is vestibulocochlear nerve or sensory relay center for auditory stimulus. So injury at the cochlea or proximal to the cochlea is termed as SNHL. | Mixed HL is defined as CHL and SNHL. |
CHL accounts for 90%–95% of all childhood HL. | SNHL is more common in adults. | |
With pure conductive hearing loss, the quality of hearing and speech discrimination is good. | ||
Often only mild and is never worse. | It can be mild, moderate, or severe, including complete deafness. | |
Common causes in adults include:
|
If SNHL takes hours or days to develop it can be due to:
If hearing loss develops in weeks: If happens in years: |
