Treatment options largely depend on the type and the cause of the hearing loss. Conductive hearing loss can often be improved with medication or surgery. Sensorineural hearing loss, on the other hand, will most likely be supported by means of hearing aids or, if the hearing loss is especially profound, through cochlear implants.

If you think that you or a loved one is experiencing hearing loss it is best to speak to an expert. There are several experts you can talk to who will assess your hearing based on a hearing test, and who can help you find the solution that is right for you:
