noise induced hearing loss may be temporary or permanent.

Decreased sensitivity to sound, in varying degrees.

Someone with hearing loss may hear some sounds or nothing at all. You can be born with hearing loss, or it can happen later because of injury of illness.

Having lost the process, function, or power of perceiving sounds. Hearing loss may range from slight tototal deafness. (child, not able to hear, he/she became)

A general term for the complete or partial loss of the ability to hear from one or both Ears.

Partial Hearing Loss in both Ears.

Hearing Loss due to Disease of the AUDITORY PATHWAYS (in the Central Nervous System) which originate in the Cochlear Nuclei of the Pons and then ascend bilaterally to the Midbrain, the Thalamus, and t [..]

Hearing Loss in frequencies above 1000 hertz.

Hearing Loss due to damage or impairment of both the conductive Elements (Hearing Loss, Conductive) and the sensorineural Elements (Hearing Loss, Sensorineural) of the ear.

Hearing Loss due to exposure to explosive loud Noise or chronic exposure to Sound level greater than 85 dB. The Hearing Loss is often in the frequency range 4000-6000 hertz.

Hearing Loss without a physical basis. Often observed in Patients with psychological or behavioral disorders.
