Two Challenges, One Solution – Complete Care for Mixed Hearing Loss

Mixed Hearing Loss involves a combination of conductive and sensorineural hearing loss, affecting both the outer/middle ear and inner ear or auditory nerve. At Global Speech & Hearing Clinic, we offer expert diagnostics, individualized care plans, and evidence-based therapies to improve hearing clarity, speech understanding, and daily communication confidence.

Causes for Mixed Hearing Loss

  • Chronic Ear Infections : Ongoing infections damage middle and inner ear structures.
  • Head Trauma : Impact injuries affect middle ear bones and cochlear function.
  • Otosclerosis Progression : Bone growth affects stapes and inner ear performance.
  • Age-Related Hearing Loss : Presbycusis combines with past conductive ear problems.
  • Long-Term Noise Exposure: Prolonged loud environments damage multiple hearing pathways.
  • Genetic Disorders: Inherited conditions impair outer, middle, and inner ear systems.
