Types of hearing
impairment:
The external ear and the
middle ear conduct and transform sound; the inner ear receives it. When there
is some difficulty in the external or middle ear, a conductive hearing
impairment occurs. When the trouble lies in the inner ear, a sensori-neural
or nerve hearing impairment is the result. Difficulty in both the middle and
inner ear results in a mixed impairment. The type of hearing impairment is
determined by means of a pure tone audiometer. The ensuing document wherein the
hearing levels are charted is called a pure tone audiogram.
