Hearing loss affects millions of people worldwide and can occur at any age. At Walker Hearing Clinics, we believe that understanding your hearing health is the first step towards better communication and an improved quality of life.

We’ve outlined the most common types of hearing loss below, along with how our friendly team of clinical audiologists can support you.

Sensorineural Hearing Loss

This is the most common type of hearing loss, often associated with ageing or noise exposure. It occurs when there’s damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve. Symptoms may include:

• Difficulty hearing in noisy environments

• Trouble understanding high-pitched sounds

• Feeling like people are mumbling

While typically permanent, sensorineural hearing loss can often be effectively managed with hearing aids. At Walker Hearing Clinics, our expert team can recommend the best hearing aids for you based on budget, lifestyle and your level of hearing loss. We supply the most up-to-date technologies in the industry so you can enjoy discreet and high-tech hearing aids.

Conductive Hearing Loss

Conductive hearing loss happens when sound can’t properly travel through the outer or middle ear. This can be due to:

• Ear wax buildup

• Ear infections

• Damaged eardrums

The good news? Many forms of conductive hearing loss are treatable, sometimes even reversible. 

If you’re struggling with hearing loss and you’re not sure which type you have, book a consultation with a clinical audiologist at Walker Hearing Clinics, where we can diagnose your hearing loss and recommend the correct course of treatment for you.

Mixed Hearing Loss

As the name suggests, mixed hearing loss is a combination of sensorineural and conductive hearing loss. It affects both the inner ear and the outer or middle ear. Again, the next step is to book a consultation at Walker Hearing Clinics so your hearing loss can be diagnosed and addressed promptly.
