Combined Hearing Loss



If air conduction and bone conduction measurement values exceed 20 dB HL, and the difference between the two is more than 15 dB, this is called a mixed hearing loss.Such hearing loss is treated according to the severity, the given anatomic structures, and other possible influence factors. Therefore, all of the hearing solutions mentioned previously might apply here:

  • Conventional hearing instruments
  • Bone conduction hearing instruments
  • Bone-anchored hearing instruments (BAHA)
  • Cochlear implants (CI)
