Hearing Loss - Prognosis



The prognosis for hearing loss varies widely. The likelihood of improvement depends on the type of hearing problem. Most conductive hearing losses can be cured. Normal hearing can be restored by relatively simple procedures. Sensory hearing loss is more difficult to treat. It can seldom be cured or repaired. Hearing aids can often provide people with near-normal hearing, however.
