Auditory disorders refer to a range of conditions that affect an individual's ability to hear or process sounds. These disorders can result from various factors, including genetic predispositions, infections, exposure to loud noises, or aging. Common types include sensorineural hearing loss, conductive hearing loss, and auditory processing disorder. Individuals with auditory disorders may experience difficulties in understanding speech, distinguishing sounds, or hearing certain frequencies. Early diagnosis and intervention are crucial for effective management, which may involve the use of hearing aids, cochlear implants, or auditory training to improve communication skills and overall quality of life.
