Hello lovely people I'm Jessica I'm a deaf Youtuber and I make very fun videos

asked and probably many deaf people are asked rather often is

telling you that the word deaf isn't just one thing it isn't one type of person.

There are a variety of reasons that a person could go deaf and there

there is damage to the outer or middle ear.

This affects air conduction because did you know hearing is actually the sound

According to my not-a-neurologist-just-a-deaf-person knowledge

and thus the sound that should be flowing from

outside of your ear through the ear canal to your eardrum and from there via

the ossicles which like the tiny little bones in your ear to the middle

This could be ear wax or a  perforated eardrum

but it could also be just a buildup of fluid in the middle ear from an illness or an allergy.

Yeah fun fact you can go  deaf from having allergies!

Then sensorineural  [struggles to pronounce]

Sensorineu...[fails to pronounce correctly]

It relates just to the cochlea that's the funny thing that kind of looks like this and has

This hairs can be damaged and I believe that this is the

most common form of hearing loss amongst older people

and there's mixed hearing loss which is mixed

when there's a problem with the auditory nerve transmitting the signal from the

cochlea to the brain this can  fluctuate from profound to mild deafness

And is often caused by a neurological condition

Many of these though could happen at any age from injury, illness

I started to lose my hearing at the age of 15 and then by the

But it's probably something to do with the two

One affects my nerves which are very useful

when you're trying to carry sound to the brain and one affects my connective

tissue of which holds together those hundreds of bones that we talked about

Could be either of those could be both that's just me there

isn't it whole decade later still a conundrum

could be born deaf but there are a whole variety of reasons for that.

Which I hope I just said right please do let me know in the comments

down below if if that was wrong the auditory ossicle also known as the

ear bone might develop incorrectly while you're in the womb or it might be

damaged during birth and this would lead to conductive hearing loss

have malformed little hairs inside your cochlea or a cochlear that is shaped

differently and thus that wouldn't transmit the sound very well.

So again that is sensorineural hearing loss and that is the most common type of

If you're born with both conductive and sensorineural

hearing loss then you have mixed hearing loss

hearing loss would be permanent but the conductive part of the hearing loss may

I mean no one's employing me at the circus

although since they're in your ear you can't really see them but deafness can

Auditory neuropathy which stops the signals from

the cochlear getting up to the brain can be caused by a lack of oxygen at birth

or jaundice or a variety of other neurological conditions that you can be

born with or develop again this very clear type of hearing loss makes understanding

speech in a noisy area particularly difficult as it's very hard to

Now, any one of these four types of hearing

loss can lead to profound deafness but they can also

do things like only make you be able to hear low notes

or be able to hear a whisper in a room with no other sound...

these different types of deafness? Well for one it's important to spread the

message that deafness can vary in level and it can be for a variety of reasons

Now if one of your friends says oh that guy

can't be deaf he just jump to that car horn

I mean possibly not in a British professor voice
