	Hearing Loss (part 1), NCBDDD, CDC
		Hearing loss severity is based on how well a person can hear the frequencies or intensities most often associated with speech.
		Central: Hearing loss caused by a problem along the pathway from the inner ear to the auditory region of the brain or in the brain itself.
		However, in most children with hearing loss that is due to a genetic cause, the hearing loss is not part of a syndrome.

	Hearing Loss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Hearing loss occurs when there is loss of sound sensitivity produced by an abnormality anywhere in the auditory system.
		Sensorineural hearing loss, commonly referred to as "nerve deafness," frequently occurs as a result of the aging process in the form of presbycusis, which is a gradual loss occurring in both ears.
		In the case of unilateral sensorineural hearing loss, the tone is heard in the unaffected ear instead.

	Profound Hearing Loss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Hearing loss can also occur as a result of an acoustic trauma, or a single exposure or very few exposures to very high levels of sound.
		Loss of hearing as a result of the aging process is called presbycusis.
		Approximately 80% of inherited hearing loss is autosomal recessive.

	Deafness and Hereditary Hearing Loss Overview
		The genetic forms of hearing loss are diagnosed by otologic, audiologic, and physical examination, family history, ancillary testing (such as CT examination of the temporal bone), and DNA-based testing.
		The hallmark of NF2 is hearing loss secondary to bilateral vestibular schwannomas.
		Family studies of autosomal dominant nonsyndromic hearing loss suggest that mutations in a single gene are not responsible for the majority of cases.

	Hearing & Hearing Loss
		Conductive hearing loss is caused by a problem in the outer or middle ear, including eustachian tube malfunction or a defect in the ossicular chain.
		Sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of hearing loss and is caused by damage to the inner ear and/or the auditory nerve.
		Retro-cochlear hearing loss is noted by inconsistencies on the audiogram, such as poorer speech recognition ability than the pure tones indicate, especially at loud presentation levels.

	Levels of hearing loss from Hearing Aid Help
		A profound hearing loss means that you may not hear loud speech or any speech at all.
		Symptoms of severe hearing loss include inability to have conversations except under the most ideal circumstances (i.e., face-to-face, in quiet, and accompanied with speechreading).
		Symptoms of mild hearing loss include problems understanding someone farther away than a normal distance for conversation, or even up close if the background environment is noisy.

		Hearing loss may also be the result of maternal illness during pregnancy, exposure to certain drugs, or complications during delivery.
		A conductive hearing loss indicates there is a problem with the mechanism that conducts sound from the environment to the inner ear.
		The audiologist is responsible for the clinical measurement of the hearing loss, assists in determining the type of hearing loss, and evaluates the child for the use of amplification (hearing aids or an auditory training FM unit).

	Causes of Hearing Loss
		This hearing loss may be mild to moderate in severity and result in speech sounds being muffled or inaudible to the child.
		Congenital hearing loss may be due to genetic abnormalities or from other factors such as infections, illnesses or conditions occurring at the time of birth or shortly thereafter.
		Non-hereditary causes of congenital hearing loss include rubella, cytomegalovirus, herpes simplex, RH factor incompatability, prematurity, maternal diabetes, toxemia during pregnancy, lack of oxygen at birth, syphilis and malformation of the ear.

	HEARING LOSS
		In this study, we used a murine model of age-dependent hearing loss and evaluated whether this condition is associated with vascular modifications of the structures of the inner ear.
		While hearing loss caused by disease of the external and/or middle ear is treatable, hearing loss as a result of damage to and loss of hair cells and/or auditory neurons can only be alleviated using prosthetic devices such as hearings aids or cochlear implants.
		A recessive mutation of ESPN is known to cause hearing loss and vestibular dysfunction in the jerker mouse.

	Medical References: Hearing Loss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Hearing loss is often discussed in terms of where the loss occurs in the hearing pathway.
		Sensorineural hearing loss usually occurs when the hair cells in the inner ear cannot detect all incoming vibrations or when neural impulses are not transmitted to the brain.
		Parents should be concerned about hearing loss in older children if they develop vocabulary more slowly than their peers; have speech that is difficult to understand or that is too loud or too soft; often ask you to repeat what was said; turn the TV too loud.

	Definition of Hearing Loss - Mild, Moderate, Severe and Profound Hearing Loss: Hear-it
		Hearing loss is often classified by means of different categories.
		People who suffer from severe hearing loss will benefit from powerful hearing aids, but often they rely heavily on lip-reading even when they are using hearing aids.
		People who suffer from profound hearing loss are very hard of hearing and rely mostly on lip-reading, and/or sign language.

	Hearing Loss (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		A person with moderate hearing loss would be able to hear if the speaker is speaking loudly and at no more that 3 to 5 feet away.
		A person with a severe hearing loss would be able to hear someone's voice if the speaker shouts and is 1 foot away.
		With hearing aids they would probably be able to hear loud sounds, like perhaps a telephone ringing or a name being called but, it would be difficult to understand speech.

		The complaint alleges that named-plaintiff Norman Harding, a thirty-year employee, suffered a profound hearing loss and was induced to settle his claim for $65,000.
		According to the suit, the hearing-loss matrix was based on a scale ranging from "profound hearing loss" to "minimal loss." This matrix was used to determine the amount of money that an employee would receive based on the severity of the hearing loss.
		According to the suit, Burlington Northern knew as early as 1966 that hearing loss from excessive noise was an occupational hazard for railway workers, but failed to acknowledge the issue.

	Allergy and Hearing Loss
		Your symptom (''profound hearing loss'') is a bit vague, an audiogram (hearing test) should have been performed in order to determine whether the hearing loss was coming from the outer, middle or inner ear.
		This may cause a sensorineural hearing loss, in association with a sensation of fullness, pressure and often vertigo.
		However, without a proper audiogram, all of this is speculation, as sudden hearing loss may be caused by viral infection, tumor, multiple sclerosis, stroke and chronic ear infections.
