hearing loss /hear·ing loss/ (los) deafness.

---

conductive hearing loss  conductive deafness; that due to a defect of the sound-conducting apparatus, i.e., of the external auditory canal or middle ear.

functional hearing loss  hearing loss that lacks any organic lesion.

mixed hearing loss  hearing loss that is both conductive and sensorineural.

nonorganic hearing loss  functional h. l.

ototoxic hearing loss  that caused by ingestion of toxic substances.

paradoxic hearing loss  that in which the hearing is better during loud noise.

sensorineural hearing loss  that due to a defect in the inner ear or the acoustic nerve.

deafness that is both conductive and sensorineural in nature.

hearing loss,

n a reduction in the acuity to detect and recognize sound.

hearing loss, conductive,

n a hearing impairment of the outer or middle ear, which is due to abnormalities or damage within the conductive pathways leading to the inner ear.

hearing loss, mixed,

n a hearing impairment that is the result of damage to both conductive pathways of the middle ear and to the nerves or sensory hair cells of the inner ear.

hearing loss, sensorineural

n a hearing impairment of the inner ear resulting from damage to the sensory hair cells or to the nerves that supply the inner ear.
