Hearing Loss
Several studies indicate variance in
the prevalence of hearing loss in Saudi Arabia, however, they suggest that the incidence of
hearing loss is significant. In addition, hearing loss is much more common in
the elderly, because
hearing loss can develop over several years, many people are not aware
of the extent of their loss until family and friends bring it to their
attention. Even then the problem is often ignored or explained with
excuses such as ... people are speaking so fast or they
mumble.
It is worth
mentioning that although hearing loss could be temporary, permanent,
sudden, progressive and usually painless, it is a health problem that
may be an indication of a serious medical condition. That is why the
logical and intelligent solution to a hearing problem begins with a
visit to an Audiologist.
In order to fully
understand hearing loss and hearing loss
types, it is necessary to understand the function
of the hearing system
