Bilateral Conductive Hearing Loss

The present paper describes a case of WS associated with bilateral conductive hearing loss which was not related to secretory otitis media. Hyperacusis was, moreover, present in spite of the conductive deafness. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

  • Surgical Procedure

    Various surgical procedures can also be used. SNHL from benign tumors generally is not reversed with surgical removal or radiation. If hearing loss is mild and tumors small, hearing may be saved by tumor removal. [lakesideallergyent.com]

    Holes in the drum can be repaired by a surgical procedure called tympanoplasty. If the hole was the only cause of hearing loss, surgical closure should improve hearing. [luriechildrens.org]

    If a greater portion of the loss is caused by a conductive component, surgical procedures and other medical treatments might be more effective in correcting the hearing concerns. [healthyhearing.com]

    For example: Ear wax can be removed Ear infection can be treated with medications Diseases that cause inflammation of the ear can be treated with medication Medications that are toxic to the ear can be avoided Occasionally surgical procedures are necessary [medicinenet.com]

    If the vertigo is not medically controlled, then various surgical procedures are used to eliminate the vertigo. [hearingloss.org]

  • Hearing Impairment

    RESULTS: Two problem areas were identified in the children with hearing impairment: in reactions to sounds and in intelligibility of speech. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

    Should your child have severe or profound hearing impairment in both ears and receives no benefit from hearing aids, she will become a candidate for a cochlear implant. [healthychildren.org]

    Bilateral Hearing Loss Bilateral hearing loss is the type of hearing loss where the hearing impairment affects both the ears. The primary cause of bilateral hearing loss is old age. [deaflinx.com]

  • Hyperacusis

    Hyperacusis was, moreover, present in spite of the conductive deafness. Surgical or prosthetic treatment of hearing loss was delayed because of hyperacusis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Surgical or prosthetic treatment of hearing loss was delayed because of hyperacusis. Treatment of the hyperacusis by acoustic training, instead, yielded excellent, long-lasting remission of the symptoms. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Surgical treatment will be considered in the future if there is a decline in hearing. [jamanetwork.com]

Medicine and surgery may also be viable treatment options. [lakesideallergyent.com]

Treatment Treatment options for mixed hearing loss will depend on whether the loss is more sensorineural or conductive in nature. [healthyhearing.com]

Prognosis The most challenging aspect of functional hearing loss is getting it properly recognized and treated. [hearinglikeme.com]

According to Chen and Young (2016), the prognosis is very poor for sudden bilateral hearing loss with a very high mortaility rate (44%) in 16 patients over 5 years. PBHL is much more common than the unilateral hearing loss. [dizziness-and-balance.com]
