Overview

Hearing disorders are conditions that reduce or distort the perception of sound, ranging from mild impairment to profound deafness, and they may be congenital or acquired, unilateral or bilateral, and temporary or permanent. They are classified by the site of the lesion: conductive disorders arise from problems in the outer or middle ear that impede sound transmission, such as tympanic membrane perforation, ossicular disease or middle-ear pathology; sensorineural disorders result from damage to the cochlear hair cells or the auditory nerve; and mixed disorders combine both. Common causes include ageing, prolonged or intense noise exposure, infection, ototoxic agents and chemicals, head trauma, and idiopathic sudden sensorineural hearing loss, the prognosis of which has been examined in relation to haematological markers. Diagnosis relies on otoscopic examination, audiometry and objective electrophysiological tests such as the brainstem auditory evoked potential, which probes the integrity of the auditory pathway from the cochlea through the brainstem. Management depends on the type and severity and includes medical and surgical treatment of conductive lesions, surgical reconstruction of the tympanic membrane through tympanoplasty using fascial or cartilage grafts, hearing amplification, and rehabilitation; emerging regenerative strategies aim to restore neurosensory hearing loss. Because hearing underpins communication and quality of life, accurate classification and timely intervention are central to otological care.
