Steep drop hearing – what is steep drop hearing loss

Steep hearing–What is steep drop hearing loss?

High-frequency steep drop type hearing loss, generally low frequency normal or mild hearing loss, medium and high frequency hearing quickly drops to severe or very severe levels. The cause of such hearing loss is generally exposure to ototoxic drugs (eg, gentamicin, streptomycin, kanamycin). In daily life, it is a very obvious phenomenon of “audible, inaudible”.

Subtle drop-type hearing loss When the hearing aid is selected, the high-frequency hearing loss is serious, and the speech intelligibility is closely related to high-frequency hearing. Therefore, although the hearing aid improves the hearing, it still cannot solve the problem and achieve understanding. It is also a new attempt to understand the purpose of language, to use frequency shifting to achieve audibility extension or to adopt adaptive dynamic adjustment techniques. When the type of hearing aid is used for steep drop type, it may be blocked. The low frequency is good. You can choose an external receiver or an in-ear type.cicHearing aid
