Meniere\u2019s Disease<\/a> \u2013 an autoimmune disorder that causes spells of hearing loss, dizziness\/vertigo and tinnitus (ringing in the ears).<\/p>\n\n\n\nSome cases are genetic and present at birth, and others are acquired later in life, such as after a childhood illness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s not uncommon for low-frequency hearing loss to worsen over time, eventually affecting more than just low frequencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with accurate, in-depth tests, an audiogram can display the tell-tale shape of reverse-slope hearing loss.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If you\u2019re diagnosed with low-frequency hearing loss, hearing aids can be a great option to amplify low-frequency sounds. Expect some degree of trial and error, as low-frequency hearing loss is more difficult to treat and may take some time to find the best amplification.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Low-frequency hearing loss is hearing loss characterized by difficulty hearing low-pitch sounds, including men\u2019s voices, musical bass and thunder. It\u2019s sometimes called reverse-slope hearing loss due to the shape it makes on an audiogram, which is a standard chart that audiologists use to measure levels of hearing loss.
