👂 Not all hearing loss is the same!

Conductive hearing loss happens when sounds can’t get through the outer or middle ear, often due to wax, fluid, or infections—and it’s usually treatable.

Sensorineural hearing loss affects the inner ear or auditory nerve, often caused by aging, noise, or genetics, and is usually permanent.

Understanding the difference helps guide treatment and solutions, like hearing aids, so you can hear your best. 💙
