It depends on if your hearing loss is sensorineural or conductive.
Sensorineural hearing loss is very common and is due to damage to the inner ear or auditory nerve from noise exposure, genetics, and natural aging. It develops over time and may sneak up on you. Hearing aids can usually help with this type of hearing loss and Vivtone hearing aids are designed to help you get back into the conversation.
Conductive hearing loss is due to conditions that blocks the sound as if your ear is stuffed. It is often sudden or unexpected and all sounds are muffled or blocked in one or both ears. We recommend that you visit your doctor if you believe your hearing loss may be conductive, especially because conductive hearing loss may be temporary or treatable.
