Understanding hearing loss

Hearing loss can be something that happens suddenly if you’re exposed to a loud sound or bang. It can also happen slowly over a long period of time, which is often the case with age-related hearing loss. Understanding hearing loss is an important first step towards doing something about it. 

Levels of hearing loss

Hearing loss can be divided into four categories depending on the level of hearing loss: mild, moderate, severe and profound. Watch the video to understand these four levels better.
