One in six people (11 million people) live with a degree of hearing loss in the UK.
Hearing loss occurs when sound signals do not reach the brain. There are different types of hearing loss depending on where the damage to the auditory system is located. It can be a sensorineural hearing loss (inner ear), conductive hearing loss (outer ear to the middle ear) or mixed loss.
