Hearing impairment
Hearing impairment: Introduction
Hearing impairment is a general term for an abnormal condition in which a person experiences a deterioration or loss of hearing. Hearing impairment can also include muffled hearing and distorted hearing. Hearing impairment, also called hearing loss is a symptom or result of a variety of diseases, disorders and conditions.
The ear includes three areas: the outer ear, middle ear and inner ear. Sound waves travel through the outer ear, into the middle ear where they cause vibration of the tympanic membrane. These vibrations are then transmitted through the auditory bones and into the cochlea of the inner ear. In the inner ear, sound vibrations are converted into electrical impulses and carried by the 8th cranial nerve to the brain.
Hearing impairment can result from a conductive problem in the outer or middle ear. Hearing impairment from this problem occurs when sound waves do not reach the inner ear. This type of hearing impairment is called conductive hearing loss and can be the result of ear infections, cholesteatoma, otosclerosis, earwax blockage, ear tumors, barotrauma and ruptured eardrum.
Hearing impairment can also result from a problem with the 8th cranial nerve. This is called sensorineural hearing loss. This type of hearing impairment occurs when the acoustic nerve is injured or damaged and is unable to conduct sound impulses from the ear to the brain. Hearing impairment due to sensorineural hearing loss can be caused by loud noise, nerve deafness, Meniere's disease, labyrinthitis and viral infections.
Hearing impairment often occurs in conjunction with other symptoms, such as dizziness, vertigo and ear pain. These symptoms, as well as complications, vary depending on the underlying cause of hearing impairment. Complications can include deafness and depression. For more details about symptoms and complications, see symptoms of hearing impairment.
Diagnosing hearing impairment and its root cause begins with taking a thorough personal and family medical history, including symptoms, and completing a physical and ear examination. The ear is examined with a lighted instrument called an otoscope.
Making a diagnosis also includes performing a variety of hearing tests (audiometry tests). A person with hearing impairment may need to consult with ear specialists, such as an audiologist or otologist, in order to get a full examination, testing and diagnosis of hearing impairment and its cause.
A diagnosis of hearing impairment and its cause can easily be delayed or missed because hearing impairment may be mild, progress very slowly and for other reasons. For information on misdiagnosis, refer to misdiagnosis of hearing impairment.
Treatment of hearing impairment varies depending on the disease, disorder or condition that is causing it. Treatment includes addressing the underlying cause and may include hearing aids and other hearing devices. For more information on treatment, refer to treatment of hearing impairment....more »
Hearing impairment: Misdiagnosis
Diagnosing hearing impairment and its cause may be delayed or missed because in some cases, it may not be severe enough for a person to seek medical care. Some people, especially the elderly, may be unaware of a gradual loss, change or impairment in hearing. In addition, some people may not seek medical care for a hearing impairment because they believe it to be a normal part of aging. ...more misdiagnosis »

Diagnostic tests for Hearing impairment:
Various tests are used in the diagnosis of Hearing impairment. Some of these are listed below :
- Physical examination
- In a child, note any malformation of the skull, ears or face that may indicate a congenital syndrome associated with deafness
- Pain with moving ear lobe suggests otitis externa
- Examine in the ear with otoscope for any abnormalities such as excessive ear wax, foreign body, otitis media (middle ear infection), otitis externa (outer ear infection), cholesteatoma (a tumor in the middle ear) or ruptured ear drum
- Ear discharge swab for microscopy and culture
- Rinne' hearing test with a tuning fork - will help determine if hearing impairment is due to nerve problem or conduction (middle ear) problem.

Assessment Questionnaire: Questions your doctor may ask (and why!)
During a consultation, your doctor will use various techniques to assess the
symptom: Hearing impairment. These will include a physical examination and possibly diagnostic
tests. (Note: A physical exam is always done, diagnostic tests may or may not
be performed depending on the suspected condition)
Your doctor will ask several questions when assessing your condition. It is
important to openly share any pertinent information to help your doctor make an
accurate diagnosis.
It is also very important to bring an up-to-date list of all of your all
medical conditions, medications including dosages, and names of numbers of any
specialist you see.
