Hearing loss in the outer or middle ear is termed as “conductive loss.” where as loss in the inner ear is called “cochlear,” which is also called “sensorineural.” A person with both conductive and sensorineural hearing loss combined, it said to have “mixed loss .”Another type of hearing loss is associated with the central auditory nervous system, which includes the auditory nerve, the brainstem and the brain.
