Feedback:
Diminished hearing results from a conductive loss, sensorineural loss, or both. Clients with a conductive hearing loss benefit more from the use of a hearing aid because the structures that convert sound into energy and facilitate perception of sound in the brain continue to function. Genetic and acquired are not types of hearing loss.
