The complete or partial inability of the ears to hear sounds is called impaired hearing or hearing loss or deafness, which can be mild, moderate, severe, or profound. In mild cases, listening in a noisy environment is compromised, whereas a hearing aid is required in moderate hearing loss patients. Both severe and profound cases are dependent on lip-reading and sign language to communicate with each other.
