Hearing management

An audiogram
An audiogram is the result of a hearing test. On a pure-tone audiogram two qualities of a person’s hearing are shown.

Tinnitus
Tinnitus is characterised by a persistent sound in one ear or both ears.

Ear canal infection
Ear canal infection (otitis externa or swimmer's ear) is an infection of the outer ear canal skin and can occur in acute and chronic forms.

What is a cochlear implant?
Not all deaf children benefit from conventional hearing aids. Fortunately, there is a solution for some profoundly deaf children or those with total sensori-neural hearing.

Acoustic neuroma
An acoustic neuroma is a benign brain tumour that develops in the acoustic or auditory nerve, which is responsible for hearing.

Middle ear infection
Otitis media is an inflammation or infection of the cells lining the middle ear cavity. The middle ear is the area located immediately behind the eardrum.
