The sense of hearing is essentially the ability of the body to pick up vibrations in the air and convert them into a form that it understands. Hearing loss refers to the diminishing ability to detect any kind of sound. Within the ear is a membrane known as the ear drum. The ear drum is spread tightly across the channel of the ear and it is extremely thin, so that it resonates with any vibrations in the air.

These vibrations are then transmitted through a series of bones to nerves that translate the vibrations into what we know as sound. Hearing loss takes place when any part of this system is damaged or not functioning properly, thus resulting in a decreased ability to pick up and translate vibrations. Hearing loss usually results from one of several causes. The most common causes include inherited traits, disease such as Secretory Otitis Media, and physical trauma, etc.
