Depending on which part of the ear is affected and hence what type of hearing loss is present, determines its treatment. A conductive hearing loss is often medically or surgically treatable e.g. medication for an ear infection, surgery to patch a perforated eardrum or replace one of the middle ear bones with a piston if one gets fused to allow full vibration again. A sensorineural hearing loss is the most common type of permanent hearing loss and usually cannot be medically or surgically treated.
